Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]No,\text{ Descartes is incorrect}[/tex]

Explanation:

Here, we want to check if Descartes is right

From what he said, the fraction has 3 in the denominator and 1 in the numerator

This can be expressed as:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

It is mathematically impossible for 3 to be equal to 1/3 and as such, what Descartes said is incorrect
