minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•8 months ago Fractions and division aren’t the same thing. Are you for real? A fraction is a shorthand for division with stronger (and therefore less ambiguous) order of operations
minus-square💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱linkfedilinkEnglish2•8 months ago Are you for real? Yes, I’m a Maths teacher. A fraction is a shorthand for division with stronger (and therefore less ambiguous) order of operations I added emphasis to where you nearly had it. ½ is a single term. 1÷2 is 2 terms. Terms are separated by operators (division in this case) and joined by grouping symbols (fraction bars, brackets). 1÷½=2 1÷1÷2=½ (must be done left to right) Thus 1÷2 and ½ aren’t the same thing (they are equal in simple cases, but not the same thing), but ½ and (1÷2) are the same thing.
