why do some buildings have 1/2 as their address (example:864 and a half)?

Two common reasons:\n1) The building is an extension on another building, but is maintained as a separate residence. This is only used when the  extension has a separate enterance, and is most common when an apartment is attached to a single-family home.\n\n2) A building is built between two consecutively numbered buildings (e.g. between 864 and 866 - remember that all odd numbers are on one side of a street and all even numbers are on the other). Rather than renumber the entire street, they will the number that is in-between the two existing buildings (864 1/2).

0.5 is technically five tenths, so it is plural - you have five tenths of something. However, 5/10 simplifies of course to "one half" which is singular, so it's all a matter of perspective. Strictly speaking, however, it is definitely plural when specified as 0.5.

its impossible because there needs to be either one less sign or one more number look:\n\nin a the order:\n2 * 4 - 6 + 8 /\n              ^there is an extra sign!!

Hi RM, you're right that the characters are swapped around in Germany (and most of continental Europe). The first property is fifteen hundred and seventy square metres. And the price is 75 eurocents per square metre.\n\nI just had this same problem figuring out some currency values for Icelandic kroner.

If you're in USA that's because a leading "1" is used to signify a long distance call. That's why it cannot be "111" since there's no use in calling an emergency service outside the town where you are.

it's easy of means multiply something the .7  is in precent and u have to convert it into a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. the answer to the problem is.9093. I think u are missing some infor u probably want a fraction like is/for = %/whole I can't do that because u have not provide me with details.

From a quick Wikipedia search:\n\nThe numbering system appears arbitrary on the map: for example, NW1 is close to central London, but NW2 is a long way out. This is because, within each sector, they were numbered by first assigning the number 1 to the closest district to the centre, and then the rest of the numbers were assigned alphabetically by the name of the district they represented. There is one exception to this rule, the new town of Thamesmead is assigned SE28, created after the current postal district system. Due to its high density, it was deemed that it should be assigned a new postcode rather than staying a part of the lower density SE2 district.\n\nThe London postal districts were created solely to help sort and deliver mail and therefore rarely coincide with the boundaries of London boroughs (and were created before even the older, smaller metropolitan boroughs).

Half of "one and a half" is three-quarters.  Twice "three-quarters" is "one and a half."\n\n... seems to me.

an imeasurable amount of numbers come after 2, regardless whether you are counting up or counting down, if during counting is what you mean.\n\ncounting up eg: 2.00000000000280222\ncounting down eg: 1.92222224025

Well, I'll admit, the street address of the Towers is difficult to find, but they were so large that they had their own area code, 10048. Any address therefore was, for example, Tower One, 10048. The Main twin towers were known as Tower One and Tower Two.

although there can be some patterns seen in the numbers it is not a repeating decimal and can be taken out to a lot more decimal places then humans can calculate.  Also if you put it into fraction (22/7) that is the most accurate way to actually utilize the number.

2 over 1 is 2:1 (2 to 1)

True, they are not whole numbers, \n\nA whole number would be an integer, 1, 2, 3.\n\n1/4 = 0.25 \n1/2 = 0.50\n3/4 = 0.75

As Lauren said, it's 1/x.\n\nMemorize this. It will be very useful.
