    • Half to the five = (5-0.5) = 4.5
    • “Sindstyve” = multiplied by 20
    • 4.5*20
    • Two and half to the five multiplied by twenty = 2+(5-0.5)*20 = 2+4.5*20 = 2+90 = 92

        Yeah, it’s kinda the difference between saying “the clock is currently half past twelve” (the English way) and “the clock is currently half to one” (which we say in Danish and probably in a wealth of non-English languages too).
