Solve the following problem:
Let's simplify this expression whilst making sure to follow the order of operations. Exponents precede multiplication and division, which in turn precede addition and subtraction, and that parentheses precede all of the above.
Therefore, we'll start by simplifying the expressions inside of the parentheses first:
We'll continue and calculate the result of the expression obtained in the last stage, step by step from left to right (which is the regular order of arithmetic operations):
In the second stage where we performed the last division operation, we wrote the result as an improper fraction (a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator) given that this operation's result is not a whole number. Later, we converted it to a mixed number by finding the whole numbers and adding the remainder divided by the divisor (3),
Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.
Solve the following equation:
\( 25 - (8 + 5) = \)
Sequential division means you divide one at a time from left to right, not all at once! means first , then .
They're the same value written differently! is an improper fraction, while is a mixed number. Both equal 2.333...
Divide the numerator by the denominator: 7 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1. So (2 wholes and 1/3 left over).
Yes! Always check if your fraction can be reduced or converted to a mixed number. It makes your answer clearer and shows you understand equivalent forms.
You'd get a completely wrong answer! Always follow PEMDAS/BODMAS: parentheses (brackets) come before any other operations, so calculate first.
