Math Problem Statement

What is the answer?

100÷4 (2+3)=

Solution

To solve the expression 100÷4(2+3)100 \div 4 (2 + 3), we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Parentheses:

    • First, solve the expression inside the parentheses (2+3)=5(2 + 3) = 5.
  2. Division and Multiplication:

    • The expression becomes 100÷4×5100 \div 4 \times 5.
    • According to the order of operations, division and multiplication are performed from left to right.
    • First, perform 100÷4=25100 \div 4 = 25.
    • Next, multiply 25×5=12525 \times 5 = 125.

So, the answer is: 125\boxed{125}

  1. What is the difference between PEMDAS and BODMAS?
  2. How would the expression change if it was written as 1004(2+3)\frac{100}{4(2+3)}?
  3. What happens if we change the parentheses to 100÷(4(2+3))100 \div (4(2+3))?
  4. How would the order of operations change if exponents were involved?
  5. Can you think of other expressions where division and multiplication cause confusion?

Tip: Always solve parentheses first to simplify the expression before handling division or multiplication!
