Exercise #2

1+2×37:4= 1+2\times3-7:4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we must first enclose both the multiplication and division exercises inside of parentheses:

1+(2×3)(7:4)= 1+(2\times3)-(7:4)=

We then solve the exercises within the parentheses:

2×3=6 2\times3=6

7:4=74 7:4=\frac{7}{4}

We obtain the following:

1+674= 1+6-\frac{7}{4}=

We continue by solving the exercise from left to right:

1+6=7 1+6=7

774= 7-\frac{7}{4}=

Lastly we break down the numerator of the fraction with a sum exercise as seen below:

7(4+34) 7-(\frac{4+3}{4})

7(44+34) 7-(\frac{4}{4}+\frac{3}{4})

7(1+34) 7-(1+\frac{3}{4})

7134=514 7-1\frac{3}{4}=5\frac{1}{4}

Answer

Exercise #3

0.50.1:0.2= 0.5-0.1:0.2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations in arithmetic, multiplication and division take precedence over addition and subtraction.

We'll start with the division operation and write the fractions as decimal fractions, then as simple fractions:

0.1:0.2=0.10.2=12 0.1:0.2=\frac{0.1}{0.2}=\frac{1}{2}

In the next step, we'll write the decimal fraction 0.5 as a simple fraction:

0.5=12 0.5=\frac{1}{2}

Now let's solve the problem

1212=0 \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we first place the multiplication exercise inside of parentheses:

3+(33×23)2= 3+(\frac{3}{3}\times\frac{2}{3})-2=

We then solve the exercise in the parentheses, combining the multiplication into a single exercise:

(33×23)=3×23×3=69=23 (\frac{3}{3}\times\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3\times2}{3\times3}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}

We obtain the following exercise:

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we must first place the two multiplication exercises inside of the parentheses:

(14×13)+(4×34)= (\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3})+(4\times\frac{3}{4})=

We then focus on the left parenthesis and combine the multiplication exercise:

(14×13)=1×14×3=112 (\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3})=\frac{1\times1}{4\times3}=\frac{1}{12}

Next we focus on the right parenthesis and we again combine the multiplication exercise:

(4×34)=4×34=124=3 (4\times\frac{3}{4})=\frac{4\times3}{4}=\frac{12}{4}=3

Finally we obtain the following exercise:

2+126= \frac{\frac{2+1}{2}}{6}=

3261= \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{6}{1}}=

Let's multiply the two fractions - numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator:

1×32×6= \frac{1\times3}{2\times6}=

312=33×4 \frac{3}{12}=\frac{3}{3\times4}

Let's simplify:
