minus-squarep3e7@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoI think, it is the real world logic that makes it hard to grasp. If you divide something with something small it becomes bigger. Mathematically it’s easy and makes sense, but it it’s somehow not intuitive. Especially for young me :)

minus-squareSoylentBlake@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-26 months agoExcept that’s not what’s written. It’s 0.25/0.5 Raising it exponentially would be 2.5/5, or 25/50=50 1/2≠50. Does not compute.
25/5=5
o.O
