explain it josh says that if he divides 50 by 5,he will get 10.jeff says he shhould get 9.who is correct?explain.
Who do you think is right? Why?
Try proof by contradiction. Show that 50 divided by 5 is 10.
To determine who is correct, we need to compute the division operation and compare the results. In this case, Josh claims that dividing 50 by 5 will result in 10, while Jeff believes it should be 9.
First, let's perform the division operation. Divide 50 by 5:
50 ÷ 5 = 10
The result of dividing 50 by 5 is indeed 10, as Josh stated. Therefore, Josh is correct in this situation.
To explain how we arrived at this answer, we divided 50 (the dividend) by 5 (the divisor) to obtain the quotient of 10. The quotient represents the answer or result of the division operation. By comparing this result with Josh's statement, we determine that he is correct.
