Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Start with the first exercise
00:10 Multiplication and division take precedence over addition and subtraction
00:16 This is the solution to the first exercise
00:19 The second exercise is a simple addition problem
00:25 Continue to the third exercise
00:29 Here too, multiplication and division precede addition and subtraction
00:37 This is the solution to the third exercise
00:39 Proceed to the fourth exercise
00:44 Multiplication and division precede addition
00:52 It's easy to identify which of the solutions has the smallest value

Step-by-Step Solution

A:

25050:5=250(50:5)=25010=240 250-50:5=250-(50:5)=250-10=240

B:

100+30=130 100+30=130

C:

20×47=(20×4)7=807=73 20\times4-7=(20\times4)-7=80-7=73

D:

10+4:2=10+(4:2)=10+2=12 10+4:2=10+(4:2)=10+2=12

Answer
