Solve this cryptarithm, where each of the letters represents a different decimal digit from 0 to 9. None of T and C is zero.
(THIS)/(CLOSE) = 5/12
(THIS)/(CLOSE) = 5/12
How Do You Decode the Cryptarithm (THIS)/(CLOSE) = 5/12?

In summary, "This/ close = 5/12" is an expression representing a fraction where the numerator is unknown and the denominator is 12. The fraction is equivalent to 5/12, meaning the unknown value is close to 5 when divided by 12. To solve for the unknown value, you would isolate it by multiplying both sides by 12. The expression can be simplified, but not further since it is already in its simplest form. The significance of "This/ close" is that it represents the unknown value. The expression can also be written in different forms, such as "This = 5/12 x close" or "This is approximately 5 times closer to the unknown value."

That answer is invalid due to the original problem constraints.
Edit: Haha. Do you mind if I ask how you got that answer?

t=8 h=9 i=6 s=0 c=2 l=1 o=5 e=4
this=8960 close=21504
this*12=107520 close*5=107520
this=8960 close=21504
this*12=107520 close*5=107520
1. What does "This/ close = 5/12" mean?
"This/ close = 5/12" is an expression that represents a fraction. The numerator is unknown and the denominator is 12. The fraction is equivalent to 5/12, which means that the unknown value is close to a value of 5 when divided by 12.
