Q:

How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

Answer

Technically or logically it is possible only once. As if you subtract 5 from 25 at first te result will be 20. Now, you can't subtract 5 from 25 since the left number is 20.


 


But if you go mathematically, it can be done infinite times and only 5 times without going into the negatives.
