Did you know?
Percentages are reversible. 8% of 25 is the same as 25% of 8, and often one of them is much easier to do in your head.
@fribbledom 2nd grade knowledge. Why would you even post something so basic?
because sometimes people overlook the basic ideas.
Please follow my secondary account @fribbledom_advanced_math where we discuss the Standard Model and the Callan-Symanzik equation 😄
On a more serious note: yes it's obvious if you think about it, but just look at all the replies and you'll realize why I post it.
@LukeAlmighty @fribbledom does it really make you feel bigger to shame people who don't know a math thing? sounds like you missed a much more important lesson than this in second grade
@relsqui @fribbledom
Wow... I have seen many things before. I understand there are people who get a very poor education (and one toot about multiplication won't solve that), but to see how many people in here are proud of having a miserable education is truly staggering.
But be proud of whatever you want. As long as it doesn't affect your life, I don't care either.
@LukeAlmighty @fribbledom my education was fine. I'm proud of my ability to be kind when someone else doesn't know something I know.
@relsqui @fribbledom Strange. What you postad was prejudiced at best. That is the exact oposite of kindness.
But if you just want to get angry since I stated there is a problem, you will only lead a miserable life. And that helps noone. Does it?
@LukeAlmighty @fribbledom I didn't learn percentages until fifth grade, nor the algebra required to prove the conjecture until 7th grade; so, there's that...
@LukeAlmighty @fribbledom People can fall out of the habit of using even the most basic techniques, or simply have never noticed them.
