Why is zero divided by x zero?


         This is something we were talking about at math class the beginning of the year. All of my classmates including me were so confused when he said that the answer was 0. Honestly, in my perspective, I can look at the argument from both sides.

        I searched it up on Wiki and took out this part "so division by zero is undefined." Maybe that leaves the answer to the argument still open. I really thought going into this question that it would be answered with some explanation that had all these crazy alien worlds. But, fortunately, it was left open meaning that I, with my hypothesis, could be correct. 

        If you don't understand the question I am answering here is an example of what I'm talking about.
0/4=0
      I think that if you aren't dividing anything that the obvious answer is zero. Say that if you have four markers, then you are supposed to divide by zero, which is nothing. So you are just not dividing anything. Sadly, that is not how it works in math right now. Hopefully later they will get a different philosophy over the subject.

      This question came across me when we were watching a movie on Napoleon. All my teachers said that he really wasn't that tall. But, because is was made by the British (who are rivals with France) they made the actor be tall to make fun of him.
   
       For those of you who don't know, Napoleon is an old leader of France and most people say he was very short. Controversially, he was one of the most cruel ruler that loved to use his power to destroy as much as he could. Here is some extra bio on him taken from google. 
     "NapolĂ©on Bonaparte was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and its associated wars. As Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and again in 1815." 
     
On google it said that he was 5 ft 6 in making him a short man in most peoples view. Though, having me being 5 inches shorter he isn't that small. I would count him as having a medium height, not being very small like me. In a lot of pictures it is said that the artists made him look taller than he really was. Which is hilarious, for such a short man to be so fierce.

Intro to my Blog



Introduction

             My new blog account is about those weird myths that need to be answered. Everything from math to science to old sayings can be answered myself. If there is some question you have that needs to be experimented on, I might be able to get the answer by gathering what your questioning and test your hypothesis.
            
         This is just something fun for you to read and learn as well as me. You just won't have to do all the research. Hopefully you'll get into this and come up with new funky questions that I can answer you back with. Since this is pretty new it will take me a while to work this blog in and I will most likely be able to blog more often and have cooler questions to ask.

 

   
I'll try to post about every week depending on my schedule. :)
