The formula would look like this

2/60=1 second

then you want to reduce, what you do to one side of the equal sign, you have to do to the other

(2/60)/2=1 second/2 (when reducing you reduce both sides)

That would give us 1/30th of every half second will be the same. Saying 30fps doesn't account for the other frames in that second. If we were to just account for the frames that are the same, then yes, but that does not apply to the frame rate as a whole. 

The appearance of 1/30th of a frame rate (that just applies to the similar frames) would appear at the very end of every second.

I want to try this again.  

When you reduce you don't reduce both sides.  You are simplifying.  

3/30 = 1/10 

I'm going to divide the top by 3 and the bottom by 3.  Or mutliply by 1/3.  

This looks like this.  

(3/3)/(30/3)  = 1/10

3 * 1/3      /  30 * 1/3

3/30 * 1/3/1/3 = 3/30 * 3/3

3/3 is equal to one, this is why you don't have to do anything with the other side, because you don't need any number times 1 is itself.  

What level of mathematics are you in?  If you don't mind me asking.  

Passed college algebra. And that's my point, for every one secong, you'll have two frames that equal 1/30 of a second.
