To solve the expression , we need to follow the order of operations, often abbreviated as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)). This problem primarily involves parentheses and addition.
We'll start by solving the expression within the parentheses:
After solving the parentheses, the expression becomes:
Next, we perform the addition:
The fraction can also be expressed as a mixed number:
Thus, the correct answer is .
\( 100+5-100+5 \)
Because of the order of operations (PEMDAS)! Parentheses come before addition, so you must solve first, then add .
Convert the whole number to a fraction with the same denominator! Since , you can add: .
They're the same value written differently! is an improper fraction, while is a mixed number. Both equal 1.333...
No! Working left to right would give , which ignores the parentheses. Always follow PEMDAS to get the correct answer.
Divide: 4 ÷ 3 = 1 remainder 1. The quotient (1) becomes the whole number, and the remainder (1) goes over the original denominator (3): .
