Ratio division looks wrong

In the following line:

https://github.com/algorithmica-org/algorithmica/blob/ed1945c3d2de8548b1c744d3161eb668703db808/content/english/hpc/arithmetic/float.md?plain=1#L41

Instead of:

r operator/(r a, r b) { return {a.x * b.x, a.y * b.y}; }

I think this is showing the division of two ratios and it should show:

r operator/(r a, r b) { return {a.x * b.y, a.y * b.x}; }

More generally, the division shows exactly the same as the multiplication which doesn't seem to make sense.
