Ex.


(4 x 4) + (4 x 2) = 24
   16    +     8


So, how did I know how to add these two? Well, using PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) we know whatever's in the parenthesis is what we do first. Since we have to sets of multiplication problems in parenthesis, we can solve either one first, but still regarding the rule of PEMDAS. Make notice of the + sign (bold) in between the two parenthesis. This tell me I will add the two products and get my final answer. But let's say it were the be subtraction oppose to addition.

Ex.

(4 x 4) - (4 x 2) = 8
   16    -    8

Using PEMDAS, I did the parenthesis first. I knew to subtract because of the - sign in the equation, leading to my difference.

What is the relationship between partitions and number series
vovangra [49]
A sum of positive natural numbers adding up to n is called a partition of n. For instance, 1+2+4 is a partition of 7. As none of the summands 1, 2, 4 are equal, this is called a partition into unequal parts. Does this help? Because this is all I know :(

A player on a school baseball team reaches first base 3/10 of the time he is at bat.Out of 80 times at bat,about how many times
Cerrena [4.2K]
Set up a proportion: 3/10= x/80. Then if you multiply 10 by 8, you get 80 on both sides, But, If you do it to the top, you also have to do it to the bottom, so the anser is 3 x 8 , or 24.
