Which statement is true according to the order of operations? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. A. 6 + 10 ÷ 2 = 6 + 5 = 11 B. (11 + 3) • 2 = 14 • 2 = 28 C. 8 – 4 ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 D. 5 + (9 • 2) = 14 • 2 = 28
For each problem, did they follow: Parentheses first Exponents next Multiplication and Division next Addition and Subtraction last?
no
B did
but i need to choose two .3.
Yes, B did, but I see one other that did as well. For the other three, why do you think they're wrong?
D?
d did addition first.
Yes, so we know that D is wrong. What, if anything, is wrong with C?
oh wait parenthesis first and do the multiplication inside of the parenthesis, then add?
whats wrong with c is that it does subtraction first.
Yup. So, C and D are both wrong. Take a closer look at A. Is it OK?
it does addition first Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
