Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Let's start with the first exercise
00:18 We're left with a simple exercise
00:22 Let's move to the second exercise
00:29 Multiplication and division are at the same level, so we'll solve from left to right
00:42 Let's move to the third exercise
00:48 Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, so we'll start with them
00:54 We're left with a simple subtraction exercise
00:56 And this is the third solution
01:05 Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, so we'll start with them
01:15 We can see that the fourth exercise has the smallest solution

Step-by-Step Solution

A:

1003×20=100(3×20)=10060=40 100-3\times20=100-(3\times20)=100-60=40

B:

10:5×20=2×20=40 10:5\times20=2\times20=40

C:

504×3=50(4×3)=5012=38 50-4\times3=50-(4\times3)=50-12=38

D':

20:4+10=(20:4)+10=5+10=15 20:4+10=(20:4)+10=5+10=15

Answer

20 ⁣:4+10 20\colon4+10
