Question

Its a PEMDAS question folks i hope you can help

Answer 1

the answer would be c

Answer 2

You need to understand PEMDAS, not just memorize it, to use it correctly.

P - first, do parentheses

E - next, do exponents

The first two are done one at a time in that order. Now we get to MDAS. Here we have two groups of operations. The first group is MD, multiplications and divisions.

MD - then do multiplications and divisions, from left to right, in the order they appear

The second group is additions and subtractions.

AS - finally, do additions and subtractions, from left to right, in the order they appear.

Now let's look at your problem and follow PEMDAS correctly.

$19 + 14 \div 10 \cdot 4 - 24 =$

P - there are no parentheses.

E - there are no exponents.

MD - now we do multiplications and divisions, from left to right, in the order they appear. Do one operation at a time per line, so you don't forget to do any operation.

We start with the division 14/10:

$= 19 + 1.4 \cdot 4 - 24$

Now we have a multiplication, so we do the multiplication 1.4 * 4.

$= 19 + 5.6 - 24$

All multiplications and divisions are done. Now we move on to the step AS. We do additions and subtractions from left to right. We start with the addition 19 + 5.6.

$= 24.6 - 24$

Finally, we have a single operation left to do. We do the subtraction 24.6 - 24.

$= 0.6$

Answer: C 0.6
