Can 1 Dollar = 1 Cent (Posted on 2003-05-03) Difficulty: 3 of 5
1 dollar = 100 cents = 10 cents * 10 cents = 1/10 dollar * 1/10 dollar = 1/100 dollar = 1 cent

Here is the proof that 1 dollar = 1 cent. Is there an error in my calculations?

The first error is 100 cents cannot be expressed as 10 cents * 10 cents. The second error is 1/10 dollar * 1/10 dollar = 1/100 dollar. Cents and dollars can not be split into 2 factors like that.
