I have 300 marbles. If I asked you „how often do I have to multiply these to get 150“, youd say „0.5 times.“
Another way to write 0.5 is 1/2.

I have 2 slices of a pizza cut into 4 slices in total. If I asked you how often do I have to multiply these 2 slices to get 1 slices, what would be your answer?

Okay, now observe how I used „multiply“, but ypu used „divide by“.

How do you multiply pizzas by pizzas? Only one number here represents an amount of pizza. The other number represents the amount of amount.

>divided it by 1/2 of a pizza
Can you show me a diagram of what cuts I have to make to accomplish this?

Multiplying with < 1 is complete lunacy.

The units of pizza per pizza cancel out, so it's just a blank, unitless 2. You have gone from having food to having an abstract numerical concept. You are the reason people say pure mathematicians are destined to starve.

Have you ever heard of exponentiation with floats?
