It has to do with the number you start out with. Going from 20 to 40 involves adding the entirety of the initial amount, whereas going from 40 to 20 involves subtracting only half of the initial amount.

Hey there!

To solve this, we can use division. First, lets turn $1 \frac{1}{4}$ into an improper fraction:

$\frac{5}{4}$

So, we have

$\frac{5}{4} / \frac{1}{2}$

We can multiply by the reciprocal:

$\frac{5}{4} *\frac{2}{1}$

That gives us

$\frac{10}{4} =\frac{5}{2} =2\frac{1}{2}$

Hope it helps and have a great day!
