Multiplication, how this shit makes any sense to you?
You have 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25
0.5 multipied by 0.5 give you smaller number
Do you get it?
You have 0.5^2 and as result, smaller number.
WHAT THE FUCK
Most of you could easily memorize answer and joke on me.
But I doubt that there is many people on Veeky Forums able to explain it
0.5 = 1/2
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25
you have half an apple. that half apple compared to a whole apple is 0.5 of the whole apple. half of half of an apple which is like 0.5 of the half apple is 0.25 of an apple
multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2, brainlet
...
Multiplying by a decimal is the equivalent of divison

It's best to think of number multiplication like one thing scaling another.
Thanks for making me feel smart user. I am not smart.
And in the pascals muggingly small chance you are serious: Multiplication is the scaling of another value. If you have one of any value, you have that value. If you have anything more than one of a value, you have more than that value. If you have less than one of a value you have less than that value.
you are multiplying a half by a half. What is half of half when considering the whole? 1 quarter, 1/4. 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 OR 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25. 0.25 is a quarter of 1.
