How should I know?
Well, that's an honest answer.
Hey, I think we've stopped.
Excuse me, where are we?
______

Great, we can help you.
A visual representation is possible using a circle or a square.
We have a pie here.

Never mind, Frank.
We can cut our pie in half.

Never mind, Frank.
We can cut our pie in half.
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|____ | ____|
We can cut our pie into two pieces.
Why two?
Because in an equation x/y, y is the number of pieces to cut into.
Now, all we have to do is take x number of pieces away.
____

This is our solution. One half of a pie.
______
| | We got that.
| | But how about a mathematical solution?

Easy! We can use division.
Each number can have lots of zeroes before it, right?
00000000002
The value of the number would be the same without the zeroes.
00000000002 = 2
A number also can have zeroes after it.
2.00000
Similarly, it also equals to 2.

This is to separate the number from 20000.
So, using division,
0 . 5
_______
2 / 1
/ - 0 1 . 0
- 1 . 0
0
Like 10 divided by 2 is 5,
1 divided by 2 is 0.5.
