4/2 = 2
What’s your point?
Already did when I was 9… Kind of moved on though
Phwoar you must be really clever
That doesn’t make any sense to me but the calculator says it’s correct… Goddamit I’m going to be thinking about this all day now…
a quarter is half of a half.
It’s confusing because it’s
dividing by "one over two (a half)"instead ofdividing by "two over one".Dividing by 2is the same acutting something in half.Dividing by a halfis the same as the inverse ofcutting something in half, which isdoubling itIf this doesn’t make sense to you, you’re in desperate need to repeat elementary school
X ÷ (number bigger than 1) < X, obviously
X ÷ 1 = X, obviously
X ÷ (number smaller than 1) > X, somehow confusing?
How many halves go into a quarter? Half of one.

💚 Half of a quarter is…half.
♥️ …is half of what?
💚 is half of a quarter!
Dividing something by 0.5 isn’t halving it, it’s doubling it.
Well I’m with OP, this entire matter is troubling my mind.
As an Asian, I can’t understand why this keeps you up at night. Didn’t you learn this in like 2nd grade?
They didn’t teach why. American mathematics have been a rote learning exercise in classrooms for generations past.
