1/6 = 2 when applied to counting by dozens.

@ IMAlright

You mean 1/6 divide by 1/6 is 1.

Or 1/6 x 1 = 1, because the general rule is any number multiplied by 1 is that same number, including the number 0.

Which gives the other general rule:

Any number divided by itself is equal to unity.

And this requires a mathematical logic to arrive at the correct answer:

What is 0 / 0 (zero divide by zero)?

I punch those numbers into my calculator.
1/6=0.1666666666666667
6/6=1
This doesn't make sence. None of those are half a dozen. I don't understand this thread. Enlighten me.

Also, 0/0=0.
If 0 people equally share 0 sweets, each person gets 0 sweets.

Undefined.



And no, he was right in saying 1/6 is 1/6 of 1.

if you plant 1/6 on Number line as One Sixth. it is One Sixth of the way from Zero to one.

If you look at 1/6 as it own number, not a part of another, that statement makes perfect sense.

ONE SIXTH (as a Number) is ONE SIXTH of ONE.

(1/6)*6 = 1.

similarly, 1/6 is 1/12 of 2, if you look at 1/6 as an idividual number.

@larry
Did he ever say 1/6 is 1/6 of one? I'm referring to the first post. 6/6 is not half a dozen. It's 1.

Ok, first of all Gabriel, you and I were writing posts at the same time. When I hit "Post Reply" and started writing, your post didn't even exist.

Secondly, I was referring to the fact that the thread creator pushed off a post that said "1/6 is 1/6 of 1"

"Or 1/6 x 1 = 1"
Correction:
1/6*1=0.1666666666666667
1*any number is not 1 unless the second number is 1 aswell. Use this formula: 1*a=a

This reminds me of a massive argument over what 2+2*2 was. A lot of people said 6 and others said 8.

2+2*2 is 6.

P
E
MD
AS

you'd do the 2*2 first.

so the whole would look like this:

2+2*2
2+4
6

No, it's B.O.D.M.A.S.
But anyway, the answer is still 6.

But if you times 1/6 by 2 you get 2/12

And when you do something with it you can get it to 6/12.
