0% of a whole of anything is nothing..

whats the difference between 50% of an apple and 0.5% of an apple?

 Are you trying to say that 50% and 0.5 are the same? Do you understand that  50% and 0.5% are diffferent numbers?   The difference between 50% and 0.5% is 45.5%.  ::)


 0.5 is 5/10 or one half.  0.5%  is  half of 1 percent.

50% of an apple is half an apple

0.5% of an apple is half an apple

because if 0.99 if an apple is almost 1 then to add 0.01 to it would then make it 1 apple.

Let it go. It's not that important. "Less than zero" is a common figure of speech. It is not intended to be a mathematical equation.

0.5 is half.  0.5% is not. 0.5% is 1/20,000. 1/2 is not the same as 1/20,000.  You can't use them interchangeably.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand.

OK then forget apples

What about if you base it on Pizzas?

0.000001%

the fact remains
if you have a 0% chance of dying then technically you wont die, thats true, but % are % by the governments own figures if you are under 60 you have a less than 0% chance of dying its actually 0.6% which is less that 0%, thats my point

the total mass of something is 100% if you take away all that mass you are left with 0%

You cant be left with half a % of it

HOLY SHIT! The arrogant, know-it-all! The snarky, loudmouth that always speaks with such a authority and certainty on things that he knows nothing about isn't even on the mathematic level of a 6th grader.

"The fact remains"? Listen to your arrogant know it all tone and ignorance. Jeeze Christ almighty, this asshole is being exposed as even dumber than anybody ever thought.

Exactly where did the government say that you have a 0% chance of dying if you are under 60? Another made-up lie.

And .6% is less than 0%? That's how percentage works? I majored in Math dumbfuck
and even a child knows that something (.6) is greater than nothing.

You're not cut out for this.

0.5 of an apple is 50% of an apple, prove me wrong..

sorry
too many zeros
0.001
if you have a 0% chance of dying then technically you wont die, thats true, but % are % by the governments own figures if you are under 60 you have a less than 0% chance of dying its actually 0.6% which is less that 0%, thats my point

"if you are under 60 you have a less than 0% chance of dying its actually 0.6% which is less that 0%, thats my point"

This is classic. Classic joswift. Stupidity beyond belief. This is what happens when you shun formal education so you can devote your life to lifting weights and posing in the front of the mirror and getting all your knowledge being brain washed on the net.

Really, you have an apple, you have 100% of that apple, I eat the apple, what % of the apple do you now have?

What does that have to do with .6 being less than 0 dum-dum?

and this is why % dont work in these instances, 100% is the maximum, and 0% is the minimum

its insane to say you can have half a % just as its insane to say 110%

It doesn't work if you are a retard.

Hypothetical:

Say 6 out of a hundred are kill in lightening strikes:
6/100 = .06 = 6%

Now 6 out of 1000
6/1000 = .006 = .06%

Now 6 out of 10,000
6/10,000 = .0006 = .006%

All those percentages are greater than zero.

See if you can follow that you arrogant retard.

So not only do you not understand percentages, but you also apply your own arbitrary rules to them.

I'm actually in awe of your stupidity right now.

LOL! This has to be the most stupid argument ever made on this board.

You tell me. You seem to be the expert in digging holes. You've basically dug yourself into a marianas trench in this thread.

And he will bury himself and then try to backpedal and claim he was misunderstood.

really, so I have 100% of an apple, I eat it all, how much percentage wise do I have of the apple left?

Regardless of what it is, if all of it is gone, then you cannot have a percentage of it left.

Making a point that has nothing to do with your asinine claim that .6% is less than zero. Trying to divert the issue to mitigate another brutal owning. Classic joswift.

Yes, I do understand that, but that still doesnt address the question I asked.

Yes, it does. You are just too stupid to understand it.

You are not cut out for this.

No I didnt, I said they are not useful in certain circumstances...

Hahahahaha!. Just as I predicted. Here comes the backpedal.

if you are under 60 you have a less than 0% chance of dying its actually 0.6% which is less that 0%, thats my point
