The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:
4 / 2 - 1
The proper order of operations would be:
Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1
But if subtracting was done before dividing:
4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4
So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.
Let the additional weight that can be added be = x
Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds
Total weight can be = 50 pounds
The equation becomes:
Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.
Okay. So, Marianna has 16 yards of fabric. Subtract 2 2/3 from 16, because those are the leftovers. 16 - 2 2/3 is 13 1/3. 13 1/3 / 3 1/3 is 4. Mariana made 4 pieces of 3 1/3 yard fabric. The answer is C: 4.
The volume of a rectangular prism is equivalent to the equation Bh. But to find the base you must first do lw or in this equation 6.1 times 5.4. That equals to 32.94. You then use the height, or in this case 8 and multiply it times 32.94. Your final answer should be 263.52 cm. cubed.
