1 time 8 = 8
2 times 8 = 16

1 times 2 times a half = 1 and a half.
1*2*0.5 = 1.5

Isn't 1 x 2 x 0.5 =1?

I think in the Biblical "a time, times and half a time" addition is referred to, but as usual, the phrase is ambivalent, how many "times "?
The WT assumes two, but it could be a thousand, we are not told.
Another one from good old "Daniel" the master of ambivilence, but not mathematics, 2300 evenings and mornings, does that mean 2300 calender days, as the WT says, or the total, 1150 mornings and 1150 evenings, each occuring on the 1150 days ? Each day has an evening and a morning, so add them together you get 2300, but not 2300 seperate days, only 1150.
By the way , if you want a real belly laugh, look up what the WT , says is the fulfillment of the 2300 days that they extrapolate from Daniel. LOL

The answer is the same as adding (or multiply if that suits you) a space, spaces, and half a space.
Hope that helps.

Looks like you're going in circles.

My BIL has been in the Army in his younger years.
I asked him: "If you were assigned a task where your life and the lives of the entire platoon depended on it - say defusing an antitank mine - and your platoon commander gave you the instructions: "turn the knob a time, times and a half a time to defuse, otherwise the mine will explode"...if the instructions were that "specific" would you just go ahead and do it, would you run back to the commander for clarification, or would you just stay out of it until confident in what you are doing"?
Expectedly, he didn't have an answer....yet he is still in with his "Jehovah this-Jehovah that" wife....
