What do you do first in order of operations?
The order of operations tells us the order to solve steps in expressions with more than one operation. First, we solve any operations inside of parentheses or brackets. Second, we solve any exponents. Third, we solve all multiplication and division from left to right.
Which is correct Pemdas or Bedmas?
PEMDAS is often expanded to the mnemonic “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally” in schools. Canada and New Zealand use BEDMAS, standing for Brackets, Exponents, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction.
How do you solve a fraction divided by a fraction?
In order, the steps are:
- Leave the first fraction in the equation alone.
- Turn the division sign into a multiplication sign.
- Flip the second fraction over (find its reciprocal).
- Multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the two fractions together.
- Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the two fractions together.
How do you evaluate 5 + 5×2?
You can evaluate the given numerical expression, 5 + 5 x 2, by using the correct order of operations as explained below: “Here is a summary of the ideas pertaining to simplifying numerical expressions. When evaluating a numerical expression, perform the operations in the following order. (1.)
What is the result if you multiply 2 by 3?
First we evaluate the multiplication inside the parentheses. So we multiply 2 by 3 to get 6. And then we divide 6 by 6. This gives the result of 1. This is not the correct answer; rather it is what someone might have interpreted the expression according to old usage.
What is the number 6÷2×(2+1) in order?
The answer is 1. In proper order of operation, you start with any part contained within parentheses. Most people will see 6÷2 (2+1) and misconstrue it as 6÷2× (2+1) and only see (2+1) alone for the first step. This is incorrect. The 2 in 2 (2+1) is part of the parenthetic.
Does 6/2(1 + 2) equal 1 or 9?
“Does 6 / 2 ( 1 + 2) equal 1 or 9?” Yes. It equals 1 or 9. Okay, that might be a facetious answer, but the equation is deliberately imprecise to provoke discussion.
