give two examples that show how using parentheses can change the order in wich operations are performed in an expression

2 answers:

This is because of the order of operations:
Parentheses
Exponent
Divide
Multiply
Add
Subtract

Note that parentheses are the first, so it will affect everything after it.

Examples:
2(5+4)= 2x9= 18
(2x5)+4= 10+4= 14

5/(2+3)= 5/5= 1
(5/2)+3= 2.5+3= 5.5

(4 + 2) / 36 = 1/6
4 + 2/36 = 4 + 1/18 = 72/18 + 1/18 = 73/18

(5 - 3) / 4 = 1/4
5 - 3/4 = 20/4 - 3/4 = 17/4

How many times smaller is 2 × 10^-10 than 4 × 10^-5

natta225 [31]

Answer:

200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times smaller is smaller number than greater number, divide greater number by smaller number.

Greater number $=4\times 10^{-5}$

Smaller number $=2\times 10^{-10}$

Then

$\dfrac{\text{Greater number}}{\text{Smaller number}}\\ \\=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-5}}{2\times 10^{-10}}\\ \\=\dfrac{4}{2}\times \dfrac{10^{-5}}{10^{-10}}\\ \\=2\times \dfrac{1}{10^{-5}}\\ \\=2\times 10^5\\ \\=2\times 100,000\\ \\=200,000$
