OpenStudy (winsteria):

help please @AriPotta

OpenStudy (aripotta):

use PEMDAS

OpenStudy (aripotta):

Parentheses Exponents Multiplication/Division Addition/Subtraction

OpenStudy (winsteria):

@KamiBug

OpenStudy (aripotta):

let's do the numerator first. 3.2 + 1.4 ÷ 7

OpenStudy (aripotta):

following PEMDAS, we first need to divide 1.4 by 7

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what do you get?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

nothing because idk

OpenStudy (winsteria):

@TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (aripotta):

...use a calculator and do 1.4/7

OpenStudy (winsteria):

0.2

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes. so now our numerator is 3.2 + 0.2. we can add them now. what do you get?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

3.4

OpenStudy (aripotta):

exactly. now let's do the denominator. (9.3 - 7.6) * 4 what does PEMDAS tell us to do first?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

Parentheses

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep. so what's 9.3 - 7.6?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

1.7

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes and now it's 1.7 * 4, which is?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

6.8

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep. so our fraction is 3.4/6.8 can it be reduced?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Order of Operations!!!

OpenStudy (winsteria):

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
