Question: what fraction manipulative covers 1/2 of 1/3?
Answer: 1 Expert Answer If you're asking which mathematical operation (or operand) is used to solve your problem, it is multiplication of two fractions. The connective word "of" usually means a multiplication involved. So 1/2 of 1/3 = (1/2 )(1/3) = 1/6, where you multiply the numerators and denominators separately.
