I see!

Too bad, you missed much stress and many headaches generated by just thinking about differential equations!

I got my degree and never used it in the real world. Then I went back to school, got another degree and couldn't find a decent job in my field. I got a part time job working for a construction firm, picked up a hammer and never looked back. I think I just felt more alive with callouses on my hands and splinters in my fingers.

I felt most alive picking up wolf scat to see what they were eating. Then the differential equations came in handy in predator prey relationships.

Do you mean 5 * 1/2?

5 * 1/2

= 5/2

======This is the exact answer you will give in college math courses. For grade school and HS 2.5 and 2 1/2 will probably be acceptable, but learn to be precise with fractions in math classes above statistics.
