Question

Can someone please show me the steps to this question? Please
Evaluate 7 – (3/4)^2

Answer 1

is it 3 over 4 or 3 divide by 4

Answer 2

3/4 (do parenthesis first)

Answer 3

PEMDAS,

anyway, is that 3 divided by 4 or 3 over four.

Answer 4

The trick to evaluating this expression properly is to adhere to "order of operations" rules, sometimes refered to as PEMDAS. Any operations within parentheses must be done first, followed by any exponentiation, then multiplication/div and then (last) addition/subtraction.

Following these rules, which operation would you tackle first in this given probelm?

Answer 5

It is 3 over 4

Answer 6

with 3 over 4: PEMDAS

We do what is given in the (---), which is P in PEMDAS.


To make it easier,


.75^2

Answer 7

"3 over 4" and "3 divided by 4" are one and the same.

Answer 8

abby?

Answer 9

no, one stands of division and the other a fraction.

Answer 10

THAT is what we require to know.

Answer 11

abby, is it a fraction or an operation, (division?)

Answer 12

It is 3 over 4 so a fraction... I said this earlier when y'all asked for it

Answer 13

There are at least two ways in which to evaluate

(3/4)^2:

One is to evaluate 3^2 over 4^2.

Another would be to convert 3/4 into the fraction 0.75 and take the 2nd power of that. Your choice.

Answer 14

with 3 over 4 (fraction):

PEMDAS We do what is given in the (---), which is P in PEMDAS.


To make it easier, .75^2

Exponent is next, because that is the E in PEMDAS.


So in other words, .75 x .75

Answer 15

@MissSmartiez : Is it possible that you are repeating the same info I've provided regarding this problem? If so, why?

Answer 16

.75* .75=0.5625?

Answer 17

(You may be wondering why I turned it into a decimal, so we could construct it easier, we can change it back ;))


And no, I was wondering if she meant it as a fraction or division,


correct!

Answer 18

now, that - 7?

Answer 19

yes, and y ou will find that that's the same as 3^2 over 4^2.

Answer 20

^

Answer 21

Please review PEMDAS (above); what is to be done now, according to PEMDAS?

Answer 22

what do I do with the 7-?
7-0.5625?

Answer 23

Ok, we have completed P and E, and there isn't any M, A, in this problem, so what would it be? Subtraction!


correct. 7 minus 0.5625

Answer 24

Now what is that? What do we get when we do 7 - 0.5625.

Answer 25

the answer is 6 and 7/16 or an improper fraction 103/16

Answer 26

6.4375?

Answer 27

stop saying the answer, she asked how to do it.

Answer 28

correct! Would you like to construct that into a fraction, or leave it as that?

Answer 29

fraction... so it'll be 6 7/16? like @scoobydo said?

Answer 30

yes

Answer 31

Yes it would.
