This is what happens when fractions meet fast food marketing. The 1/3 pound burger failed because Americans thought 1/4 was bigger (since 4 > 3, obviously). Then when someone tries to explain basic math with "1/3 > 1/4" and ".33 > .25," the response is "what are those signs?" This is why STEM educators drink heavily after work. The denominator paradox strikes again - where the bigger number on the bottom somehow makes people think the fraction is smaller. And they say math anxiety isn't real.
