Order of operation- The Language Math

BEDMAS:

B-Brackets
E-Exponents
D-Division
M-Multiplication
A-Addition
S-Subtraction

Division,Multiplication,Addition and Subtraction has to be in order from left to right.


1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6/2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

I don't agree because she used addition before multiplying. If we do the order of operation Multiplication should go first before Addition.

2. Put Brackets in the following expression to get the Largest value possible.What problem solving strategy did you see?
3*2.8+6.4/4

(3x2.8)+6.4/4=
8.4+6.4/4=
8.4+1.6=
10=

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression. 2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6.

2.5+1.25+5x1.6=
3.75+(5x1.6)=
3.75+8=
11.75=

Great Job! It's nice how you used a different colour for your answer,it's really noticable. Next time you might want to add a link or maybe a video to support your scribe.
