Nobody is talking about 3 pies. We are talking about 1 group.
“1 group of two pies divided by 2 is 1/2 groups of two pies” is equivalent to “1 / 2 = 1 / 2”. We’re taking 1 and dividing it by 2. We’re taking ONE group of two pies and dividing it by TWO. “Group of two pies” is a unit of measurement, it is not a number we’re multiplying.
Yes, 1 group of three pies. That’s what I said.
Is .3333 (bar) not base-10 of 1/3? If so… Show me the .3333 (bar) piece of pie. If not, screw math.
Motor doesn’t seem to jive with the interchangeability of terms.
2 dozen eggs -vs- 24 eggs. You and I can comfortably treat at least most statements about 2 dozen eggs as interchangeable with statements about 24 eggs. This operation of interchangeability or replaceability doesn’t seem to work for motor, for whatever reason.
It’s not.
So 1 dozen of 12 eggs divided by 2 is 1/2 dozen of 12 eggs??
That is total NONSENSE!
1 dozen divided into 2 equal parts means you end up with 2 parts of .5 dozen.
The math looks like this:
1/2=.5 and .5x2=1.0
Now show me what your math looks like.
You’re saying that “1 / 2 = 1 / 2” is total nonsense. I don’t know what to tell you at this point.
What is 1/2 dozen of 12 eggs? What does that even mean?
I take it that he’s insisting on base-10 representation. If he can’t find one, he declares that the number does not exist.
Yeah haw. 1/3 may not exist in base-3, but it does in base-10.
The word for it is .3333 (bar).
Show me the pie.
The reverse happens to be true.
We’re saying the same thing.
Is it funny that he introduces a phrase to the conversation, and then later is incredulous about the meaning of the phrase he invented?
His words, not mine. I just changed the units of measure to show him how his statement was total nonsense.
1/2 Dozen of 12 eggs is NONSENSE!
1/2 Dozen = .5 Dozen
1/2 dozen does not equal 6 dozen.
1 dozen divided into 2 equal parts means you end up with 2 equal parts of .5 dozen. Simple as that.
No motor, you introduced the entire topic of “dozen of 12 eggs”, nobody said that before you did, and you started talking about dividing it by 2.
Right, it was to show how ridiculous it is to say 1 group divided into 3 equal parts equals 1 pie. That is nonsense! That is like saying 1 dozen divided into 2 equal parts equals 6 eggs. NONSENSE!
Again:
1 Dozen divided into 2 equal parts equals .5 dozen, not 6 eggs! If you think 1 divided by 2 = 6 then you have some serious issues!
1/2=.5
And not a word of that has to do with you not understanding the own term you brought into the conversation haha.
Which term are you referring to?
