Here's The Thing I Got A Problem With!*

Math.  Long rant typed up, and....never mind. I'll speak to a teacher. How the *fudge* does something times something equal less? 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4? Doesn't "times"/ multiply mean "make more"? See: Rabbits. How the *fudge* can I start with half a *fudge*in' pizza and [sarcasm]multiply[/sarcasm] and end up with less *fudge*in' pizza than I started? Oh, gets better! Let's divide it! I start with 1/2 a pizza and the next thing you know, I'm farkin' Heyzoos with loafs and fishes! Bam! Whole.  *Karma for the reference. |

I wanted to see it bounce.
Maybe this helps:
1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4
.5 x .5 = .25
Or you can just press the "I believe" button, crack open a cold one, and say "what the *fudge* does this have to do with real estate?"

In the realm of arithmetic on the set of real numbers, multiplication is simply {repeated} addition. There is an implied zero in your bolded, add one half , of your half to zero. 1/4. That is the concept, #s aside. Just as 3*(1/2)=1.5 ( Add 3 1/2's to 0 ....) |

Why would adding my half to my other half work towards zero, as opposed to one? <-----------------------------------> 0 1/4 1/2 3/4 1 |

You're adding 1/2 OF the 1/2 to Zero. When you do 3*3, are you adding 3*3 (3+3+3) to an (initial) 3? no, you would get 12 then..... When you do 3*2, are you adding it to an initial 3? no. think how 3*1 and 3*0 work... you get the idea.... right ? just because you've moved off the integers into fractions, the idea is the same. |

Re-read what I said,
I did, about 14 times.  you aren't adding the 1/2 (or anything therein) !to the 1/2! .
I get that. You're adding 1/2 of the 1/2 to Zero. That kinda makes sense. I've spent so much time explaining fractions......Oy. I'd rather explain "Suck my *8==>*." |

I guess there's no hope of explaining division as repeated subtraction then....  |
