    I am in the completely opposite camp of you, I cannot, for the life of me comprehend the equation in this form.

        I understand the math, that isn’t the problem. It’s how it looks. I have a struggle parsing it.

      Come on it’s not even middle school maths.

      (1/4) / (1/2) = (1/4) X (2/1) = (1/4) X 2 = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5

        it has nothing to do with the equation itself, but the way that it looks. I understand the basics of the mathematics, but looking at it in this form does not work for me.
