Question

Write how you would explain the following problem using the order of operations to a 5th grader?

Answer 1

Answer:

PEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Use PEMDAS. Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.

Start with your parenthesis, which is (9-6). This comes out to 3. Your equation should now look like 2+(3)x5/3

Then, go to your exponents. Since we don't have any, we skip this step.

Now, we look from left to right for any multiplication symbols or division symbols. Finding (3)x5, this comes out to 15. Now rewrite your equation, if should look like this: 2+15/3.

Repeat the last step and find your division symbol, and find this 15/3. That comes out to 5.

The last step is finding addition or subtraction symbols, and since there's only two numbers left we can just solve the problem from here.

2+5=7.
