If there aren't any remainders, probably, life would be boring. The fun to a division problem will decrease and teachers won't know what to teach their students. I hope this helps!

Because sometimes a division problem has an left over amount that you can't divide from. I hope that helped!

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall:

Distance = speed x time

we are given that speed = 18 km/h and distance = 54 km.

hence,

54 = 18 x time   (divide both sides by 18 and rearrange)

time = 54/18 = 3 hours

Pls help not really getting this

A proper fraction is a fraction such as 3/5, or 2/4, any fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator. Then it says "the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts, and an odd number of those parts exists." Such as 1 3/5. From my understanding, you then divide by 2, which would give you 0.8, which could then be turned into 0.4 if that's what your teacher wants you to do. In the end, there will be no odd number.

A line passing (a,3) and (5,5) is perpendicular to a line passing through (0,0) and (1,a) Find the value of a.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - 3)/(5 - a)

2/(5 - a)

perpendicular of 2/(5 - a) = -(5 - a)/2

(a - 0)/(1 - 0) = -(5 - a)/2

a/1 = -(5 - a)/2

2a = -5 + a

a = -5
