To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Calculate the sum inside the parentheses: .
Step 2: Perform the division: , because zero divided by any non-zero number is 0.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
0
\( 1\times1000= \)
The parentheses don't give you the final answer - they just show you what to calculate first. You still need to divide zero by that result: .
Huge difference! (zero divided by any number is zero), but is undefined (you cannot divide by zero).
Only when zero is the dividend (the number being divided). , but dividing by zero is impossible!
Order of operations ensures everyone gets the same answer! Without it, could be interpreted different ways and give different results.
The parentheses are essential here! They tell you to add first. Without them, would mean - a completely different answer!
