minus-squarebitwaba@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-29 months agoIt’s confusing because it’s dividing by "one over two (a half)" instead of dividing by "two over one". Dividing by 2 is the same a cutting something in half. Dividing by a half is the same as the inverse of cutting something in half, which is doubling it
