Is Terrance Howard correct when he says 1×1=2?
- Multiplication should always increase!
- Nope! Multiply something by .5, you get half.
Basic Math
Multiplying is factoring. When you have two of something, you have 2 x 1 of something, which equals two of that something. Period. When you have 10% of something, you have .1 x 1 of something, which is ten percent of something, that’s less than the something you are carving up. Finally, when you have none of something, you have 0 x 1 of something, which is nothing of the thing.
