8 0

let's think about it, let's divide say hmmm 15 by 0, in a fraction

\bf \cfrac{\textit{part of a pie}}{\textit{whole pie}}\qquad \cfrac{15}{0}\implies \cfrac{\textit{taking 15 pieces}}{\textit{from a whole pie that's 0, or not there}}

now, how can you take any pieces of a pie that's non-existent? I mean that requires magic!!.

now, let's do it using a simple long division, 15 ÷ 0, so 0 is the divisor, anything times 0 is 0, what is our first digit in the quotient to get 15? 0 * 15 = 0, 0 * 1,000,000 = 0, there isn't any number we can possible use to get a quotient.

Han and Tyler are following a polenta recipe that uses 5 cups of water for every 2 cups of cornmeal.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 cups of cornmeal=2 cups of water. Using 115 cups of cormeal would mean you need 287.5  cups of water, not 3.

3 is too little

2: If you use 5 cups of water for every 3 cups of cornmeal, for 3 cups of cornmeal you'd need like 6.5 cups of water, not that high of a number.

MArishka [77]

Respuesta:

A.) BA = 12 m

Explicación paso a paso:

Usando triángulos similares:

BA / AC = DE / EC

BA = x; AC = 20; DE = 3; EC = 5

POR ESO ; TENEMOS :

x / 20 = 3/5

Multiplicar en cruz:

5 * x = 20 * 3

5 veces = 60

5x / 5 = 60/5

x = 12
