4 · 1 - 32 ÷ 3
If this is how it is written I would interpret it like so, \[4*1 - \frac{32}{3}\] As for what you do first, Remember BEDMAS, Brakets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction this is the order of operations.
Important rules you need to know to simplify this expression. Fraction Addition and Subtraction To add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator for example: \[\frac{3}{2} + \frac{4}{2} = \frac{3+4}{2}\] you cannot add or subtract (without modifying the fraction), \[\frac{3}{2} + \frac{4}{3} \] because their denominator differs (one is 2 the other is 3)
-Any number can be expressed as a fraction by simply dividing by 1 for example: \[\frac{33}{1} = 33\] -Fraction multiplication Multiplication of fractions is simple just multiple the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator for example: \[\frac{5}{3}*\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1*5}{2*3} = \frac{5}{6}\] -The final rule you need to know is that you can modify the denominator of any number easily by multiplying by a fraction that equals 1 For example: \[\frac{3}{1} = \frac{3}{1}*\frac{3}{3} = \frac{9}{3}\]
hope this helps you :)
thank (:
you lol
Memorize these rules because they are super fundamental
if you have any further questions please ask
for the final rule just to be clear, \[\frac{3}{3} = 1\]
