To solve the expression , we will apply the order of operations systematically.
Step 1: Evaluate the inner division .
When we compute , we are finding how many times 5 fits into 10. This calculation can be expressed as:
.
Step 2: Substitute the result from step 1 into the outer division.
Now, we substitute with . Once again, we apply division:
.
Therefore, the solution to the expression is .
\( 100-(5+55)= \)
The parentheses change everything! means you must solve first, then divide 10 by that result. Without parentheses, you'd get a completely different answer.
The colon (:) is another way to write division, just like the ÷ symbol. So means the same as or .
Think PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)! Parentheses always come first, before any other operations like multiplication or division.
Work from the innermost parentheses outward. Solve the deepest nested operations first, then gradually work your way to the outside operations.
Absolutely! becomes . When dividing by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal: .
