minus-squareMalle_Yenolink-3•4 months agoThis is why I don’t like decimal notation lol (1/4)/(1/2)=1/2 makes it way clearer what is going on.
minus-square@Woovie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•4 months agoI am in the completely opposite camp of you, I cannot, for the life of me comprehend the equation in this form.
minus-square@chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-1•4 months agoWhat’s not to understand? One divided by four divided by one divided by two equals one divided by two. Simple.
minus-square@Woovie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•4 months agoI understand the math, that isn’t the problem. It’s how it looks. I have a struggle parsing it.
minus-square@Scrof@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink-2•edit-24 months agoCome on it’s not even middle school maths. (1/4) / (1/2) = (1/4) X (2/1) = (1/4) X 2 = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5
