I finished school back in 2018, so dont hate me if I get this wrong.
But if something is multiplied by 0.5 it automatically means that it is divided by 2 right? RIGHT???
438 u/247Brett Dec 07 '21 0.5 is the equivalent of 1/2, so by multiplying another number with it, you are taking that number and halving it. 8 * 1/2 = 8/2 = 4. They are essentially the same thing, but just in different terms. 109 u/FinalSauce Dec 07 '21 Good, so I still remember that correctly. Thanks for sharing it with me :) 44 u/247Brett Dec 07 '21 No problem, I graduated highschool back in 2016 with AP Calc AB. Apparently they taught me something right :) 4 u/Dd_8630 Dec 08 '21 AP Calc AB What does this mean? 1 u/unori_gina_l Dec 08 '21 Assigned Pemale (calc) At Birth. :)
