Yeah, I guess, lots of maths being done without units is the culprit here.

2 / 0.5 = 4 just makes it sound like you’ve magically applied some transformation to 2, which has cloned it.
2 cakes / 0.5 cakes = 4 half-cakes rather makes it clear why it’s suddenly double the amount, without cloning involved.
