minus-square onion ( @onion@feddit.de ) linkfedilink2•6 months agoThat’s the same as 2/2=1 3/3=1 268/268=1 …
minus-square p3e7 ( @p3e7@lemm.ee ) linkfedilink2•6 months agoI think, it is the real world logic that makes it hard to grasp. If you divide something with something small it becomes bigger. Mathematically it’s easy and makes sense, but it it’s somehow not intuitive. Especially for young me :)
minus-square SoylentBlake ( @SoylentBlake@lemm.ee ) linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-26 months agoExcept that’s not what’s written. It’s 0.25/0.5 Raising it exponentially would be 2.5/5, or 25/50=50 1/2≠50. Does not compute.
25/5=5
2.5/0.5=5
o.O
