Determine the correct sign
We'll simplify each expression separately using the order of operations:
Expression 1:
Calculate the exponent: .
Inside the parentheses: .
Division: .
Second division: .
Add the results of division: .
Multiply by : .
After simplification, the value of the first expression is approximately .
Expression 2:
Inside the parentheses: .
Division: .
Add and subtract remaining terms: .
After simplification, the value of the second expression is .
Comparing the final values, we have approximately (from Expression 1) and (from Expression 2). Since these two are not equal, the correct relation between the expressions is .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
\( 0+0.2+0.6= \) ?
The colon (:) is another way to write division! So is exactly the same as or .
Because 38 doesn't divide evenly into 16! is correct. It's okay to have decimal answers in these problems.
Yes! You must follow the complete order of operations for each entire expression before comparing them. Don't take shortcuts by comparing parts of the expressions.
Calculate the final numerical value of each expression, then compare those numbers. Since 1.09375 ≠ 0, the answer is .
Small rounding differences are normal! The key is that is clearly not equal to zero, so is definitely correct.
