¼ / ½ = ¼ • 2 = 2/4 = ½

This is the reason why people should learn fractions

And 4/2 = 2, what’s your point?

0.5*0.5=0.25 🤯

Way better: 37% of 72 = 72% of 37

(Or any other numbers)

Yeah that was always the dumbest "trick" to pop up every couple weeks on reddit to then also have the top quote be, "it only works with easy numbers though."

Well, yeah, dividing something by 0.5 is the same thing as multiplying it by 2…

Thanks I'm not going to sleep for the next 34 months and I think I should meditate 2 hours a minute to find out how this works

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

0.25^0.5^=0.5

[–] bin_bash@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

that is the right result why don't sleep because of that? 🤔

[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I figured out why this is the case but only after I checked it on a calculator.

It's me, I am the problem.
