Fraction Order of Operations

This video tutorial explains how to solve fraction problems using a modified version of PEMDAS, which includes an additional step for handling fraction bars. The tutorial covers each component of PEMDAS, emphasizing the importance of following the order of operations and handling grouping symbols. It provides a step-by-step guide to solving fraction problems by simplifying the top and bottom parts separately before dividing to find the final answer.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Solving algebraic equations

• Products

What new component was added to PEMDAS this year?

• R for roots

• C for constants

• FB for fraction bar

• G for grouping

Which operation should be performed first according to modified PEMDAS?

• Subtraction

• Grouping symbols

• Multiplication

• Addition

How should multiplication and division be handled in a problem?

• Left to right, whichever comes first

• Division always before multiplication

• Multiplication always before division

• Right to left, whichever comes first

What is the last operation to handle in a fraction problem?

• Subtraction

• Exponents

• Fraction bar

What is the first step in solving a fraction order of operations problem?

• Start at the top

• Divide the numbers

• Simplify the bottom

• Add all numbers

When simplifying the top of a fraction, which operation should be done first?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Division

What should you do if the top of the fraction is not a single number?

• Add a constant

• Divide immediately

• Continue simplifying

• Move to the bottom

What is the next step after simplifying the top of the fraction?

• Solve the bottom

• Add the top and bottom

• Divide the top by the bottom

• Multiply the top and bottom
