Order or Hierarchy of Operations with Fractions - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

According to the order of operations, we first multiply and then add:

$12+(3\cdot0)=$

$3\times0=0$

$12+0=12$

According to the order of operations rules, we first divide and then add:

$2+(0:3)=$

$0:3=0$

$2+0=2$

Let's begin by multiplying the numerator:

$25+25=50$

We obtain the following fraction:

$\frac{50}{10}$

Finally let's reduce the numerator and denominator by 10 and we are left with the following result:

$\frac{5}{1}=5$

According to the order of operations rules, we first divide and then add:

$0:7=0$

$0+1=1$

According to the order of operations, the exercise is solved from left to right as it only involves an addition operation:

$12+1=13$

$13+0=13$

According to the order of operations, the exercise is solved from left to right as it contains only an addition operation:

$0+0.2=0.2$

$0.2+0.6=0.8$

According to the order of operations, since the exercise only involves addition operations, we will solve the problem from left to right:

$\frac{1}{2}+0=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

According to the order of operations rules, since the exercise only involves addition and subtraction, we will solve the problem from left to right:

$9-0=9$

$9+0.5=9.5$

According to the order of operations rules, since the exercise only involves addition and subtraction operations, we will solve the problem from left to right:

$19+1=20$

$20-0=20$

According to the order of operations rules, we first divide and then add:

$0:3=0$

$2+0=2$

According to the order of operations, we first multiply and then add:

$3\times0=0$

$12+0=12$

According to the order of operations, we first solve the expression in parentheses:

$5\times1=5$

Now we multiply:

$8\times5=40$

According to the order of operations, we first place the multiplication operation inside parenthesis:

$(7\times1)+\frac{1}{2}=$

Then, we perform this operation:

$7\times1=7$

Finally, we are left with the answer:

$7+\frac{1}{2}=7\frac{1}{2}$

According to the order of operations, we will solve the exercise from left to right since it only contains multiplication and division operations:

$\frac{6}{3}=2$

$2\times1=2$

This simple rule is the order of operations which states that exponentiation precedes multiplication and division, which precede addition and subtraction, and that operations enclosed in parentheses precede all others,

Following the simple rule, multiplication comes before division and subtraction, therefore we calculate the values of the multiplications and then proceed with the operations of division and subtraction

$3\cdot5-15\cdot1+3-2= \\ 15-15+3-2= \\ 1$ Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.
