OpenStudy (kaederfds):
then.. your computer is right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes its correct
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
how do order of operations work with left division
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
i know right , different machines give different answers

yes,,its 1/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
either way u get 2 as the answer... 2x3=6/3=2 and then 3/3=1x2=2 so yeah answer is 2!

USE PEMDAS! :) PEMDAS is super useful :)
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

those are different
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2*3\3= so we have 2times three that is being divided by 3. first we times (2) and (3) = 6 than we divide the six by 3 which gives us the answer 2.
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
\ is not division
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay than what is this / ?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
like unkle said above.. a\b = b/a

But still the a/b =b/a are being divided
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you I knew it was two..
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
right that's what unkle is saying.. is it \[\implies 2 \times 3 \text \ 3 \implies 2 \times 3/3 \implies 2 \times 1 \implies 2\]
or \[\implies 2 \times 3 \text \ 3 \implies 6 \text \ 3 \implies 3/6 \implies 1/2\]
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
unkle is asking how does the order of operations go in back division

so this question was about how a/b = b/a so the other answer than would 1/2 or 2 not just two.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I admit this one had me a bit fooled here. But oh well life goes on..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Live and learn..
