Step-by-step explanation:
In logic, a contradiction implies any statement you would like. That is in fact a definition of contradiction in a formal system. P -> Q is true for every Q, whenever P is false.
So
“1/2 of 5 = 3” => “1/3 of 10 = whatever you want”.
Here is a formal proof if you would like. Assume you want 1/3 of 10 = X.
1/2 of 5 = 3
Multiply by 2 both sides give,
5 = 6
Multiple both side by (10 -3X)
50 - 15X = 60 - 18X
Rearranging you get,
10 = 3X
Which implies, 1/3 of 10 = X.
Note that this is the definition of contradiction. 3 = 6 is a contradiction, not because of physics, but because it implies any mathematical statement you would like in the standard number system. There are number systems where 3 = 3 and as well as 3 = 6 are perfectly consistent in mathematical sense.
