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?
Nothing wrong with the earlier solutions, but I though I might add my 10 cents worth.
We could get around the denomination problem by recrafting the problem slightly:
1 dollar = 100 cents = (10 * 10)cents = (1/10*1/10)dollars = 1/100 dollars = 1 cent
The problem is then with the third step, which elides the fact that a dollar is really 100 cents, and that 100 needs to be distributed over both the fractions. 10 cents=100/10 cents = ((1 dollar, expressed in cents)/10), and we must do this once for each fraction.
Thus we get:
1 dollar = 100 cents = (10 * 10)cents = (100/10*100/10) cents = 100 cents= 1 dollar.
