I don’t understand why you can’t divide by zero.
If you turn it into a word problem 10/1 could be stated as “If you have 10 things and put them in a bucket, how many things do you have in the bucket?”
10/2 becomes “If you have 10 things, and and put an equal amount of them in two different buckets, how many things are in each bucket?”
So, wouldn’t 10/0 become “If you have 10 things, and don’t put any of them into the bucket, how many things are in the bucket?”
I’m bad at math, go easy on me.
I think I get it, thanks for taking the time to explain.
With 10/2 there are two buckets, and 10/1 there is 1, so with 10/0 I was wrong to phrase it as there is a ‘bucket with nothing in it’, it should be ‘there is no bucket, so you can’t divide the things, even if you wanted to.’ Right?
