Pablo has 0 pieces of candy and wants to divide them into 2 equal piles. You want to know how many pieces will be in each pile? Can you divide zero into 2 equal parts?

Answer: No because 0 means nothing and you can't divide nothing among something so that is like undefined.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

you cannot divide zero into two equal parts because there is nothing there to start. Since Pablo has no candy, he cannot divide it into two piles because there isn't anything to divide.
