1.75
4 x 1.75 = 7 so that is the answer
297:5.5
divide 5.5 by both sides which
5.5 divided by 5.5 is 1 and 297 divided by 5.5 is 54
1:54
the unit rate:
54 minutes per word or 54/1
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.
Answer:
8.1
Step-by-step explanation:
8.1 is the highest as you would look at the first number before the decimal and is the highest in this equation.
6/4 = 1 1/2 gallons
2 - 1 1/2 = 1/2 gallon
She has 1/2 a gallon left over
