machines cant into infinity, fucking AI brainlets.

Isn't that just saying half of 50? Makes sense that it's 25...

How in the fuck can 1/2 = 2/4 when 1 + 2 =/= 2 + 4 ?
This is worse than the fucig 0.99=1 meme.

but it does = 1 if it's infinite 9s

1/3 = 0.333...
1 = 0.333... * 3
1 = 0.999...

If you have 2(two) apples in a box and take out 1(one), you will half of you apples in the box (1) and half of you apples out of the box (1). Notice the amount of apples out of the box (1) is equal to the amount inside the box (1).
This means that 1(one) is half of 2(two).

Now the other case. Suppose now that you have 4(four) apples in the box, and take out 2(two). You will now again have an equal amount of apples inside(2) and outside(2) the box. This means that 2(two) is half of 4(four).

Now, these fractions (the things with two numbers seperated by a '/') are representing the ratio of the number on the left or top to the number on the right or bottom. This means that 1/2 represents "1(one) in 2(two)", or more often called a half. We know from earlier that 2/4 represents a half as well, as 2(two) is half the amount of 4(four). So now it follows that 1/2 = 2/4

You can also view it as an equation, as fractions are pretty much the same thing as dividing. Ask yourself, "how often does the 1(one) fit in the 2(two)?" (hint: 2(two) times). Now ask, "how often does the 2(two) fit in the 4(four)=" (hint: 2(two) times). This also show 1/2 = 2/4

So now you can see that 1/2 equals 2/4, they both represent a half.
Hope I could help, :^)

wrong, even 2 * 0.99 = 1.88 is wrong

multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2

0.5 divided in two is 0.25

woah so math

2*.9999... is farther from 2 than .9999 is from 1.

You know what else you can do with a quarter?
heads I win, tails you lose

Maths is on a spectrum

>I hurt myself today.

>One half of a half is one quarter

Whats the problem?

why not both

what even is this

>25 half apples=12.5 whole apples
What seems to be the problem here?

0.5 = 1/2

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

This is because you saying you have 1/2 halves. Welcome to elementary school!

Eat lead.

Maths is a spectrum.

There are no bottoms, only tops. They can't make whole apples. They can not equal 12.5.

5 half apples x 5 half apples = 25 half apples

And if you divide that by two because they're halves you get 12.5 apples.

No, because you can't make whole apples with apple tops. See:

>Implying an apple of two tops isn't an apple
You're so far below my level.

>math = real world

Only children think like that.

pure math and applied math are all just part of the same spectrum
