help me
@leenathan If you're not busy can yew help me??
im in a meeting
use pemdas
ok
Do you know the correct order of operations?
Do you know what PEMDAS means and how to use t?
Yes P- Parenthesis E- Exponents M- Multiplication D- Division A- Addition S- Subtraction
Yes, you got the letters correct, but the order is this: First: P - Parenthesis Second: E - Exponents Third: MD - Multiplication and Division in the order they appear from left to right Fourth AD - Addition and Subtraction in the order they appear from left to right
In this problem there is an exponent, since E is first, do the exponent first. The way to solve a problem like this without forgetting any operation is to write the entire problem down. Then do one step at a time in the correct order following PEMDAS and copy everything else down. Do one step per line, but copy everything else, so you don't forget part of the problem.
\(\Large10^2 \div 25 \cdot 20 + 4 \div 2 - 14\)
Oh Ok
\(\Large \color{red}{10^2} \div 25 \cdot 20 + 4 \div 2 - 14 =\) \(\Large =\color{red}{100} \div 25 \cdot 20 + 4 \div 2 - 14 \) There are no parentheses or exponents now. What do you do next?
AD??
Addition and Division...................?
or Subtraction
Where did you see AD above where I explained PEMDAS? I only see P E MD AS Where is AD?
Sorry. I did make a mistake above. The last step is AS, not AD. Let me write it again: First: P - Parenthesis Second: E - Exponents Third: MD - Multiplication and Division in the order they appear from left to right Fourth AS - Addition and Subtraction in the order they appear from left to right
We had no parentheses. We had an exponent and we did it. Now we have MD.
\(\Large =\color{red}{100 \div 25 \cdot 20} + 4 \div 2 - 14\) Look above. There is a division and a multiplication. They are both part of MD, so we do them in order from left to right. What is 100/25 = ?
