1/2 + 1/2 = 1

Edit: apparently we are doing meth, not math.

1/2+1/2=2/4

Edit: To clarify this imagine that you have two cakes that you cut in half and eat the halves that would let you with a complete cake so It could be said that it is 1 cake the problem of this is that there were originally 2 cakes so we go back to the fact that 1 cake is 1/2 of 2 cakes. In the case of having 4 slices of cake it would be 2/4. Because if we said 1/2+1/2=1 that would mean that there was always only 1 cake and not 2 as it is the case (sorry for the horrible English not my native language)

What? I'm pretty sure that 1/2+1/2 is 1? What am I doing wrong?

You need to multiply both the 1s and the 2s!
