9G (2.3) PART 2 PEMDAS

PEMDAS is only hard when a math problem is poorly written.

Let's try to write them better.

​ASHER OPINION

​

Always use the fraction line to write division

​Asher's first law of writing math better:

I think this much easier to read correctly

Multiple Choice

You (and your calculator) need to use PEMDAS to solve this:

$$\left(12-4\right)\div4+12\div4=\ ?$$

• 5

• 4.5
• 6.75
• 5.25
• 3.25

Multiple Choice

Same problem but written using Asher's First Law of Writing Math Better

$$\frac{12-4}{4}+\frac{12}{4}=\ ?$$

• 5

• 4.5
• 6.75
• 5.25
• 3.25

Multiple Choice

Same problem, two different ways:

$$\frac{32+28}{5}\times15=\ ?$$

or

$$\left(32+28\right)\div5\times15=?$$

• 180

• 150

• 160

• $$\frac{266}{3}$$

• $$\frac{2}{3}$$

Multiple Choice

Same problem, two different ways:

$$11\times\frac{40-5}{7}=\ ?$$

or

$$11\times\left(40-5\right)\div7=?$$

• 55

• 10

• 7

• 11

• 9

Multiple Choice

You (and your calculator) need to use PEMDAS to solve this:

$$10\div2\ +13\div2\ +7\div2\ =\ ?$$

• 17
• 16
• 15
• 18
• 19

Multiple Choice

Same problem but written using Asher's First Law of Writing Math Better

$$\frac{10}{2}+\frac{13}{2}+\frac{7}{2}\ =\ ?$$

• 17
• 16
• 15
• 18
• 19

​

Always use the Parentheses to write multiplication

​Asher's Second law of writing math better:
