To solve this, you must start with defining what different words repersent mathematically:
What = x
Is = =
half = 1/2
of = *
3 2/3 = 3 2/3
So we have:
x = 1/2 * 3 2/3
Now to solve this, elementary algebra is required. First we need to know that a b/c = (ac + b)/c so 3 2/3 = (9+2)/3 = 11/3.
Then we need to know that a/b * c/d = ac/bd so (1/2) * (11/3) = (11*1)/(2*3) = 11/6.
11/6 = (6+5)/6. Since (a+b)/a = 1 b/a, the answer is 1 5/6.

3/2 = 1 1/2
(2/3) / 2 = 2/6
1 1/2 = 1 3/6
1 3/6 + 2/6 = 1 5/6
The answer is 1 5/6
