Social media users have been left bewildered after discovering that 550 divided by two is 275 - and not 225 as many seem to instinctively assume.

I'm left bewildered as to what those same many social media users instinctively assume is 450 divided by two.

Even my 8 year old grandson can immediately give the correct answer. I would think everyone knows that half of 500 is 250. Then add in half of 50 (25) to 250, which makes the total 275.

Maybe I’m wrong that everyone knows that half of 500 is 250 and half of 50 is 25, and that is my first mistake.
