Halving
Halving splits a number into two equal parts and is the opposite of doubling: half of 48 is 24 because 24 + 24 = 48. For a number like 70, halve 60 and 10 separately: 30 + 5 = 35.
How to solve this
- Halving a number means splitting it into two equal parts: half of 16 is 8 because 8 + 8 = 16.
- For even two-digit numbers, halve the tens and ones separately when possible: half of 68 = half of 60 + half of 8 = 30 + 4 = 34.
- Check by doubling your answer — you must get back the original number.
