It won’t keep you up if you just think of Divide as just multiplying by the fraction
24 0 ReplyYeah I was gonna comment that 0.25*(1/0.5) = 0.5 doesn't look nearly as weird
6 1 ReplyI didn’t specify fully, but I was just thinking 1/4 * 2/1
8 0 ReplyImo, as soon as you write it as 0.25 multiplied by a fraction it works, because you can then easily see that it's the same as (1/4)*2

The math looks perfectly fine. But when people phrase "half of a quarter" I think they have (1/2)*(1/4) in mind, instead of 0.25/0.5
