I absolutely get a feeling of.437 L of beer. Not only that, but most people I know are able to divide by more than 2 and 5. It’s not about numbers being whole, it’s about relative proportions. It’s quite intuitive that a third of a thing is three things. So a third of 1 is about point 3. Wanna make it more accurate? point 33. Wanna divide by 7? Okay, 10 beans divided in 7 parts gives 7 beans, one in each part and 3 left to divide in 7 parts which looks pretty close to half a bean in each part since 3 is about half of 7. So there - 1 and a half beans. I haven’t even computed the right result but I know I’m pretty close because the proportions make sense.
