Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(35 - 20)/20
15/20 = .75
.75 * 100 == 75%
75%
Answer:
45 old houses
Step-by-step explanation:
new houses : old houses
3 : 9
15 : ?
(3 = 1st ratio and 9 = 2nd ratio)
To find the missing ratio, divide the first ratio from the new ratio:
15 / 3 = 5
Take the product and multiply that by the second ratio to find the missing ratio:
9 x 5 = 45
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.
