How many times can you subtract 5 from 75?


"How many times can you subtract 5 from 75?" is a tricky question. We think that there are three different answers to this question.

Answer 1: Once
It is once, because after you subtract 5 from 75 once, you are left with 70. Thus, you cannot subtract 5 again from 75.

15 times, because 75 divided by 5 is 15. After you subtract 5, 15 times from 75, then there is nothing left to subtract from.
