Given:

72-\frac{8}{2}+6\times3

He does mistake in the order of giving preference.

We should give preference in the order, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.

But, he gave the first preferrence to the subtraction.

72-8=64

Next, he used division

64/2=32

Next he adds 32 with 8.

So, he gets 50.

But the actual simplification is,

Simplifying we get,

\begin{gathered} 72-\frac{8}{2}+6\times3=72-4+18 \\ =68+18 \\ =86 \end{gathered}

Hence, the correct value of the expression is 86.

Clara has 8 coins worth 17¢. if the coins are all dimes and pennies, how many dimes and pennies does she have?
Sliva [168]
Let x = the number of dimes
Let y =  the number of pennies.

There are 8 coins, therefore
x + y = 8        (1)

The coins are worth 17 cents, therefore
10x + y = 17     (2)

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2).
10x + y - (x + y) = 17 - 8
9x = 9
x = 1

From (1), obtain
y = 8 -x = 8 - 1 = 7

Answer: 1 dime, 7 pennies.

This math promblem!!!!

1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
   a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72     then 72+1= 73
   b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**
