This 'proof' is a well known mathematical fallacy that is actually proving that: 1
2 and 1/5 is equal to 2 and 2/10 2 and 1/2 is equal to 2 and 5/10
1/6 is equal to 2*1/2*31/6 is not equal to 2/6----------------------------------
1/8 is equal to 1/8
No, 1 sixth is not equal to 2 twelfths. 1 sixth is equal to 2 twelfths because if you simplify 2 twelfths, you will get 1 sixth.
