0.25 is half of 0.5. Alternatively: A quarter is half of half. If you multiplied 0.25/0.5 by 2, then it would be 0.5/1, which is just 0.5.

Didn't I multiple it by 2/2 which is the same as 1? Like isn't 2/8 the same as 1/4?

You've got it. The trick to working with fractions is multiplying them by fractional equivalents to one (2/2, 7/7, 13/13, etc) to change them into numbers that our monkey brains can handle more easily.
