Examples with solutions for Multiplication and Division of Signed Mumbers: Using order of arithmetic operations

Exercise #1

400:(713+10)= -400:(-7-13+10)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, let's solve the expression in parentheses from left to right:

713=20 -7-13=-20

20+10=10 -20+10=-10

Now the expression we have is:

400:10= -400:-10=

Let's note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number:

=+ \frac{-}{-}=+

Therefore:

40010=40 \frac{400}{10}=40

Answer

+40 +40

Exercise #2

3.5:7+14= -3.5:-7+14=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the exercise from left to right.

We'll write the division problem as a simple fraction in the following way:

3.57+14= \frac{-3.5}{-7}+14=

Let's note that we are dividing a negative number by a negative number, so the result will necessarily be a positive number:

=+ \frac{-}{-}=+

We'll break down 7 into a multiplication problem:

3.53.5×2+14= \frac{3.5}{3.5\times2}+14=

We'll reduce the 3.5 in both the numerator and denominator of the fraction and get:

12+14=1412 \frac{1}{2}+14=14\frac{1}{2}

Answer

+1412 +14\frac{1}{2}
