Answer:

No there cannot be.

Step-by-step explanation:

In explaining this question, I would like us to take into account who the barber is,

" the barber is the one who shaves all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves".

This barber cannot be in existence because who would shave him? If he should shave himself then there is a violation of the rule which says he shaves only those who do not shave themselves. If he shaves himself then he ceases to be a barber. And if he does not shave himself then he happens to be under those who must be shaved by the barber, because of what the rule says. But then he is the barber.

This lead us to a contradiction.

Neither is possible so there is no such barber.

Simplify 6-12b divided by 3a-6ab
siniylev [52]

Answer:

\frac{2}{a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{6-12b}{3a-6ab} ← factor both numerator and denominator

= \frac{6(1-2b)}{3a(1-2b)} ← cancel common factor (1 - 2b) on numerator/denominator

= \frac{6}{3a} ← cancel 6 and 3 by 3

= \frac{2}{a}

Okay I will have an example for you. 3 and 2/7. STEP 1) multiply the denominator by the whole number. 3×7=21. STEP 2) add the numerator to 21. 21+2=23. STEP 3) 23 is the new numerator so put 23 over 7. FINAL SOLUTION 23/7.

The slope of a line is 5 /7. What is the slope of any line that is perpendicular to that line?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

-7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line. so just switch the numbers and put the top number into a negative.
