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:
4.6
Step-by-step explanation:
For this question, we need the opposite side and have the opposite
with that said, out of SOH, CAH, TOA it's fastest to use TOA
tan(75)=17/x
17/(tan(75))=x
x= 4.555136271
which rounds to
4.6
Answer:
$0.22
Step-by-step explanation:
Ellen has a coupon of 1.55 off a loaf of bread
The regular price of the bread is 4.63, the loaf is cut into 14 slices
Therefore if she uses her coupon the price per slice can be calculated as follows
= 4.63-1.55
= 3.08
3.08/14
= 0.22
Hence the price is $0.22
