Hey @narutofangirl Do you know the PEMDAS or BODMAS?

OpenStudy (narutofangirl):

thanks im only in 4th grade and they gave me this

OpenStudy (escamer):

umm, is this an actual question? It seems to be simple enough for someone to figure it out on their own

Now, escamer, let's be nice!

OpenStudy (escamer):

umm in 4th grade i didn't have questions like these, these kinds of questions are more 1st grade?

hartnn (hartnn):

this could be a trick question as someone might say the answer could be 6/6 =1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Naruto, PEMDAS or order of operations is the way we solve. We have to do these operations before moving to the next one: Parenthesis and exponents from left to right Multiplication and division from left to right Addition and subtraction from left to right

LET ME EXPLAIN: THIS QUESTION IS COMPLETELY WORTHLESS IN MATHEMATICS. YOU SHOULD SPEND YOUR TIME SEARCHING FOR MEANINGFUL MATHEMATICAL RESULTS, NOT THIS.

OpenStudy (escamer):

oms cx im so dumb, i saw the division symbol as a +

OpenStudy (narutofangirl):

thanks you guys are awesome know i know ill get it right have to help some other people

Parth (parthkohli):

A BOOK WOULD NEVER WRITE LIKE THIS, UNLESS IT IS INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING. IT WOULD RATHER USE PARENTHESES OR DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS\[\frac{6}{2(1+2)}\]OR\[\frac{6}{2}(1+2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Everyone, let's calm down c: So, we have: 6 ÷ 2(1 + 2) We have a parenthesis! We have to do the addition inside of the parenthesis before we can move on to the multiplication and division. So, what is 1 + 2 = ?

Parth (parthkohli):

THIS QUESTION IS MEANINGLESS

Parth (parthkohli):

@hartnn PLEASE EXPLAIN THESE KIDS

OpenStudy (narutofangirl):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
