First, we rewrite down the multiplication exercise within the inner parentheses as a fraction:
Now we invert the fraction to create a multiplication exercise:
We add the 3 to the numerator of the fraction in the multiplication exercise:
Now we invert the fraction to create a multiplication exercise:
We add the 25 to the numerator of the fraction in the multiplication exercise:
We separate the 10 and 35 into smaller multiplication exercises:
We simplify the 5 in the numerator and denominator:
We separate the numerator of the fraction into a sum exercise:
We separate into sum exercises among fractions:
\( 100-(30-21)= \)
Order of operations requires working from the innermost parentheses outward! The expression 25:(3:(10:35)) means you must solve 10÷35 first, then use that result for the next division.
Remember: dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So 10÷35 becomes .
The colon (:) represents division. So 25:(3:(10:35)) is the same as writing 25÷(3÷(10÷35)) with regular division symbols.
Since 50÷21 = 2 with remainder 8, we write it as . Check that 8 and 21 share no common factors to confirm it's fully simplified.
Yes, but be careful with the order! Calculate 10÷35 first, then 3÷(that result), then 25÷(that result). Working step-by-step prevents errors.
