0 Guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 It's quite simple actually. Binary code for "2" is one (1), zero (0), thus 10. So, 2/10(ie:2) = 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think you can really mix binary and denary in the same sum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 you simply have to prove it by hook or by crook... so kkliston is right, BUT there are many possible solution so find them... good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fabpig Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 o ok...still think kk copied the question incorrectly tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) If 2/10 means 10 divided by 2, then the statement is true in base 4. Edited April 3, 2011 by jpf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 o ok...still think kk copied the question incorrectly tho don't solve it just prove it any how. Don't go for logic just prove it i know its wrong mathematically.. all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 two / ten = wo / en w=23 (23rd letter of alphabet) o=15 e=5 n=14 => 23+15 / 5+14 => 38 / 19 = 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 "\" is not a regular mathematical symbol, so lets define it. Lets say "a\b means a^(b/10)" (which would be understood by an excel spreadsheet or basic interpreter) Then we can evaluate it:- 2\10 = 2^(10/10) = 2^1 = 2 Q.E.D.

0 Guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 In MATLAB (and probably other codes, but I've only worked in MATLAB), the x=A\b command solves Ax=b, where A is a matrix and x and b are vectors. Looking at the problem in base 4 and converting to base 10, this means that with A=2, b=10(base4)=4(base10), x=2, 2\4=x corresponds to 2*x=4, x=2.

0 Guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) TWO/TEN(Cancel T in numerator and denominator) WO/EN(consider the alphabets sl no) (23+15)/(5+14) 38/19 2! Engineers can do anything.... Edited April 4, 2011 by dspandian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 If I just have to "prove it" instead of solving it then technically the answer could be anything. Even a play on words... 2/10 or two tenths... can equal 2, but two of what? Since we're going green here, let's say we're at a recycling plant... Therefore two tenth cans equals 2ยข. Get it, two "tin" cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
