The order of arithmetic operations is given by the acronym PEMDAS, which means
Parentheses,
Exponents,
Multiplication,
Division,
Addition,
Subtraction.

These two examples illustrate how the use of parentheses can change the order.

Example 1:
5+7/3x4-2/5 has an answer of 13.933.

Use PEMDAS to obtain
5+(7/3)x4-(2/5)
= 5+(2.3333x4)-0.4
= 5+9.3333-0.4
= 14.3333-0.4
= 13.933

If we apply the parentheses: (5+7)/3x4-2/5
The result is
(12/3)x4-(2/5)
= (4x4)-0.4
= 16-0.4
= 15.06
which is a different answer.

Example 2:
8/3²x5+4 has the answer 8.444

Use PEMDAS to obtain
8/(3²)x5+4
= (8/9)x5+4
= (0.8889x5)+4
= 4.4444+4
= 8.4444

If we apply the parentheses (8/3)²x5+4:
The result is
2.6667²x5+4
= 7.1113x5+4
= 35.5565+4
= 39.5565
which is a different answer.

16.437 rounded to the neatest tenth is 16.4 true or false
Ainat [17]
Answer=True

When rounding 16.437 to the nearest tenth, we need to look to the hundreds place.

16.437

The number 3 is in the hundreds place

The rules of rounding are:

If the number is 5 or greater, then you round up.

If the number is 4 or less, Then you round down.

Since 3 is less than 4, we would round down. So...

16.437 becomes 16.4
