Solve Division Problem: 225÷[(26-6÷3)×5] Using Order of Operations

Question

$225:[(26-6:3)\times5]=$

00:07 Let's tackle this problem together!

00:10 Always start by solving inside the parentheses.

00:14 And remember, solve the innermost parentheses first.

00:18 Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction.

00:23 Now, let's work on these parentheses step by step.

00:33 Next, solve what’s inside the square brackets before moving on.

00:43 Write the division as a fraction. This makes it easier!

00:47 Break down 225 into 15 times 15.

00:53 And for 120, break it into 15 times 8.

00:57 Simplify everything you can; it helps a lot!

01:02 And there you have it—that's the solution!

First, we solve the exercise within the innermost parentheses:

$(26-6:3)=$

According to the order of operations, we first divide and then subtract:

$26-2=24$

Now we obtain the exercise:

$225:(24\times5)=$

We solve the multiplication exercise and then divide:

$225:120=1.875$

1.875
