How does that work?

Great question

0.125
That's what I guessed too but then I used my calculator and got .5 lol

I guess dividing by less than 1 turns it into multiplication somehow, and vice versa. If you do .25 x .5 it's .125.

.25/.5 = .25/(1/2)= .25*(2/1)=.5

If 0.25 can hold 0.25 of 1, it can hold double the amount of half of 1.

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplication by a whole number. Rather simple.

Dividing by 0.5 is the same as multiplying by 2

diving by (1/2) is the same as multiplying by the inverse, or (2/1).

How many times does 0.5 go into 0.25?

It goes in 0.5 times.

How did you manage to go through school without ever being taught about division?

0.5 fits into 0.25 exactly 0.5 times or 1/2 times.

Like if you divided 0.5 by 0.5 you would get 1.

Thats the purely logical way of thinking about it anyway without getting into fraction division.

The question is asking you "how many times can 1/4 of something make a group of 1/2 of that thing" and the answer is that 1/4 makes up half of 1/2

Think of it with whole numbers... 4 divided by 2 means "how many times can 4 make up groups of 2" and it's clear

We're just bad with fractions as humans

Your calculator is wrong.
