Help DH and me solve this silly maths argument

[ADayGivingMeHope]

Ok it's not an AIBU but we need this argument settled!!

I am 30.

I just said to my DH that I am MORE than half his age...
We are talking about someone on TV who is 70
DH says I am LESS than half his age.

Half his age is 35. I am 40 years younger than him so surely I am MORE than half his age?

DH says half his age is 35 and I am 30 so I'm less than half his age...

Tell us who is right please!

[ClopySow]

Really?

[Twodogsandahooch]

DH

[OuiMerci]

Your DH.

[Hassled]

You are more than half is age. You are 40 years younger, which is more than 35 years, which is half.

[ClopySow]

Your husband is right

[TizzyDongue]

Your DH is right.

[BusyBeez99]

Less than is right

[headhurtstoomuch]

I'd say 'less than half his age'

[PotteringAlong]

DH

[TheFifthKey]

DH I'm afraid! It's means older than half his age - in fact I'm not sure I even follow the logic of your thinking, sorry!

[BlackSwan79]

Your DH is right

[Hassled]

Oh my god I've confused myself. I've had wine.

[Paddybare]

Your DH is right I'm afraid.

[TyneTeas]

I think you are right

Less than half is smaller than the half

[TizzyDongue]

30 is less than 35.

[AlternativeTentacle]

Less than half his age of course.

[WingsofNylon]

You are less than half his age. But you are more than half his age younger than him.

[Angiefernackerpan]

Your DH is correct. Half his age is 35, you are 30. 30 is less than 35.

[Naicehamshop]

Your dh.

[annandale]

Your dh.

[fanfrickintastic]

DH is right.

If you were more than half his age you'd be 35+ but I can see why you think it.

Think of it like a cake, if you asked for more than half the cake, how much can would you expect?

[StressedMover]

You are correct!

[Untangled07]

Your DH

[ClopySow]

To be more than half his age, you'd have to be over 35

[Trb17]

Half his age is 35.

Are you more than 35?

No. You are not.

Your DH is right.
