First, we solve the exercise within the innermost parentheses:
According to the order of operations, we first divide and then subtract:
Now we obtain the exercise:
We solve the multiplication exercise and then divide:
1.875
What is the result of the following equation?
\( 36-4\div2 \)
Because division comes before subtraction in PEMDAS! Within the brackets (26-6÷3), you must divide first: 6÷3 = 2, then subtract: 26-2 = 24.
You'd get (26-6)÷3 = 20÷3 = 6.67, which is wrong! The brackets don't change the order of operations inside them - division still comes before subtraction.
Write each step clearly:
Yes, but be careful with parentheses! Enter it exactly as written: 225÷((26-6÷3)×5). Missing parentheses will give the wrong answer.
That's normal! doesn't divide evenly, so 1.875 is the correct decimal answer. Not all division problems result in whole numbers.
