Answer 21

Answer 22

let start at the front
okay 128 + 52=

Answer 23

180

Answer 24

right
okay 180 *100-19+9=

Answer 25

for the 3rd one....do you work the problem out and then multiply the answer by 180. or do you put everything in parenthesis and distribute the 180 through all the numbers ???

Answer 26

u could to pemdas

Answer 27

what did u get for 3

Answer 28

I got 2 different numbers
17990
16200
those r the ones I got

Answer 29

This is how I did the 3rd one....
100 - 19 + 9/5 x 2
100 - 19 (9/5 x 2)
100 - 19 + 18/5
81 + 18/5 = 405/5 + 18/5 = 423/5

I then multiplied 423/5 x 180 = 76140/5 = 15228

Is that how to do that ?

Answer 30

The way the problem is worded is confusing.....
for the 3rd one.....is the problem 100 - 19 + 9 over 5 x 2 or is it 100 - 19 + (9/5) x 2. How would you interpret this problem....??

Answer 31

okay I got it by pemdas
180*100=18000
18000-19=17981
17981+9=17900 that's one the other one is



180*100=18000
180*(-19)=-342000
180*9+= 1620
then do 18000-3420+1620= 16200

Answer 32

what happened to the 9/5 ?

Answer 33

for the 17900/5=3580
3580*2=7160

for the 16200/5=3240
3240*2= 6480
idk witch is right

Answer 34

I wouldn't interpret it. I would just not do it.

Answer 35

that means its rong

Answer 36

which way would you do it abb0t

Answer 37

he wouldnt

Answer 38

I just dont know if it is 100 - 19 + 9 over 5 x 2 or if it is 100 - 19 + (9/5) x 2. There is no parenthesis in the problem.

Answer 39

I believe this is the only step in the problem that i am having trouble with :(

Answer 40

Answer 44

lol me too :)

Answer 45

There are a few more eyes looking at the problem....maybe they will give me their input .....I hope :)

Answer 46

1. write down number of ounces in a gallon .... 128 (assuming you mean fluid ounces)

2. add the number of cards in a deck. .... 128+52 = 180

3. multiply by 100 - 19 + 9/5 x 2 ... 180 x (100 - 19 + 9/5 x 2) = 15228

4. divide by the GCF of 9 and 6 ... 15228/3 = 5076

5. multiply by # of weeks in a year ... 5076*52 = 263952

6. multiply by # of legs on a centipede ... 263952*100 = 26395200 (note: the number of legs varies with each species)

7. subtract # of lbs in 2 1/2 tons ... 26395200 - 2500 = 26392700

8. add # of hours in a week ... 26392700 + 24*7 = 26392868

9. subtract # of dimes in $ 500 ... 26392868 - 500*10 = 26387868

10. subtract # of days in 2 years ... 26387868 - 365*2 = 26387138 (assuming non leap years)

11. add # of hours in a week ... 26387138 + 24*7 = 26387306

12. subtract # of days in Oct, Nov, and Dec ... 26387306 - (31+30+31) = 26387214

13. round to the nearest thousand ... 26387214 ---> 26387000

14. divide by 5 x 2 x 5 ... 26387000/(5 x 2 x 5) = 527740

Answer 47

u way to smart lol that's good tho lol will u help me

Answer 48

OMG.....thank you so much jim_thompson....I see where I messed up....I feel stupid now .....lol

Answer 49

I'm sure you just made a silly error

where did you go wrong by the way?

Answer 50

the 3rd one

Answer 51

don't feel stupid @kelliegirl33

Answer 52

somehow I got the number of weeks in a year as 50...how stupid was that....don't answer that...lol

Answer 53

oh you follow PEMDAS

180 x (100 - 19 + 9/5 x 2)

180 x (100 - 19 + 1.8 x 2)

180 x (100 - 19 + 3.6)

180 x (84.6)

15,228


So 180 x (100 - 19 + 9/5 x 2) = 15,228

Answer 54

okay I got the number of weeks in a year is 52

Answer 55

you do NOT multiply the 5 and 2 to get

180 x (100 - 19 + 9/10)

also you do NOT combine the first three terms in the parenthesis to get

180 x (90/5 x 2)

Answer 56

I got the 15228.....just messed up on the next one......I know there is 52 weeks in a year.....why did I put 50......that was stupid

Answer 57

that's pretty close

it's not exactly 52 weeks since you have 365 - 52*7 = 1 day left over, but 52 is as close as it gets

Answer 58

lol idk will someone me on my problem please the factor 0.04

Answer 59

thank you again jim :)
