Obvious answer? LED strip

Hey guys!

I have a question that I fear might be redicilously obvious, but I just need to be sure:
I have a LED strip that reads 12v per meter.
When I then shorten this, say in half, would the voltage then be 6v?
I´ve got 3S Li-ion 18650 for my set up, and my LED strip is 60 centimeters.

Thanks!!
 
Look at the strip. There are little copper or silver solder points, or an indicator for cutting. If you cut the strip right there, it's 12V. If you cut anywhere else, you actually sever the connections between the 3 LEDs and they won't work.
