Intuitively speaking, how many times does half of a thing fit into a quarter of a thing? The answer is, exactly one half time.
How many halves fit into a quarter? Half of them
That’s exactly how I think of it, so strange someone downvoted you
✅ Math is hard
❌ This math is hard
p/q=q
So q=√p
Works with a lot of numbers ☝🏻🤓
Ehhh |q| = √p but close enough
That’s 2x2=4 level of stupid.
You have one apple. You divide it into quarters, so that you have 0.25 of an apple. Now divide it in half. So yes well technically you do have one half of 0.25 (and 0.5 is the answer that a calculator will return) what you actually have is 1/8 of an apple (0.125).
This is what pisses me off about Matt half the time. You end up with something that in the abstract makes sense because it’s just numbers, but then if you try to make it make sense in real life it’s stupid.
