What is half of 5/6?

Explanation:
Taking half of a fraction means multiplying by 1/2. So half of 5/6 is (5/6) × (1/2). Multiply numerators and denominators: 5×1 = 5 and 6×2 = 12, giving 5/12. The other options come from multiplying 5/6 by 1 (which would stay 5/6), by 1/3 (5/18), or by 1/6 (5/36), none of which represent halving. So 5/12 is the correct result.
