Why don't Germans cut potatoes and fish with a knife?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: In Germany, cutting potatoes with a knife is considered impolite. Instead of using a knife, Germans prefer to smash potatoes with a fork to make more room for gravy. Germans cut fish, potatoes, and other similar foods with the side of a fork rather than a knife to indicate that the food was tender and properly cooked. It is considered wasteful to leave food on your plate.

Answer 2

Answer:

Do not use a knife to cut potatoes or dumplings (suggests food is not tender). If you are taking a break during the meal, but would like to continue eating or would like more food, cross the knife and fork on your plate with the fork over the knife. Germans don't tend to stay long after dinner.

Explanation:

You should buy the phone with the 50% discount.

If you buy this phone, the cost will be $100. If you buy it through the website, you would first take 25% off:

200-(0.25*200) = 150

Then you take another 25% off:
150 - (0.25*150) = 112.50.

It is cheaper to take the 50% discount.

Answers

Let's check whether you are correct or not

25% of 100

0.25(100)$25

Amount=$75

Again 25% off

0.25(75)$18.75

Final amount=75-18.75=$56.25

Yes your calculations are for price $200 not $100.

But 50% discount will not give you actually thorughout 2 25% package

From points A, B, C, the six tangents shown in the figure are placed on the circles that enclose a convex hexagon.Prove: The sums of the lengths of three pairs of not immediately adjacent sides of this hexagon are equal, i.e. | PQ | + | RS | + | TU | = | QR | + | ST | + | UP |How can I prove this? I already found out that the triangles on the sides of the hexagon are not pairwisely congruent, as i first thought.
