You should be able to solve this

its 16 because you start with whats inside the (...), Then you continue with the divide by and then the multiply that goes in front of the (...) The divide by goes first because its before the multiply... Its not that hard

Multiplication is before division retard.

It's 16, if there aren't any ( ) indicating the order you go from left to right.

>PEMDAS
Had to google that shit. Why would they teach it as an acronym, leaving out roots, logarithms, etc? It's always been "the big shit first, the small shit later". No wonder IQ is decreasing with such dumb teaching methods.

no its equal lol.

From what I was taught years ago, solve the parenthesis first, then the outside equation. so it goes (2*2) = (4), then 20/5 = 4. 4(4) = 16. The answer is 16.

It's 8060 btw, you're all wrong.

BODMAS

Bracket then Of then Divide then Multiplication then Addition then Subtraction.

I mean this is 6th grade math (or it was when I was still in school), it should be insanely easy for anyone with an IQ over 85 to be able to figure out immediately.

In America this equals 16

whenever i see a slash in the middle of an equation i view it as a fraction. whenever i see a ÷ i do the order of operations. so when i see the problem in the pic i see:
20
-------
5(2*2)

this is just a confusion of symbols which is why we use ÷ and x for divide and multiply.

>all these brainlets
lmao, both are correct, it was made so

Context and convention, people.
For a scientist, the result is 1.
For a merchant, the result is 16.
For a pleb, the formular is too complex math to be solved..

Context and convention. If you stick to your own as the One Great Truth, your brain is hard wired by calcification, and you've just stopped all mental development at the age of 12.

i understand your point, but since there is not a () for all the number to the right the / only afects the first number

I'd think the same but wolfram says it is 16 with both operators. In both cases it makes it into
20
---- * (2 * 2)
5

What you've written is 20/(5*(2*2)), which is entirely different.
If you enter the problem shown in the OP in any mathematical software, it will be interpreted as (20/5)*(2*2).

What the fuck
>the old way = 1
It's 16

maybe we were in common core all along and we just didn't know it...

This thread will reach the bump limit

Urban retard

You can't put that into volfram though. It is not defined sufficiently it can be both 20/(5*(2*2)) and (20/5)(2*2), it's made that way.

Literally the comment above you says the opposite.

We were the real common core all along

To get 16, the (2*2) would have to be in the numerator, which it isn't. I have to believe this is a misprint in the text they're using.

If that were the case wouldn't wolfram give you 2 solutions?

nice bait

>20 / 5 * 4
>4 * 4
>16

"The old way" means "the wrong way" I assume? Or is the picture edited?

Why use * instead of x?

20/5 (2*2)
20 ÷ 5 + 2 x 2 = 16

If you understood what you've written and what you've read, you'd see that the two statements are in no conflict with each other.
Wolframalpha interprets 20/5(2*2) as (20/5)*(2*2), which is why it returns 16 as an answer. You are the turk smell.

>What you've written is 20/(5*(2*2)), which is entirely different.
it is not
it is exactly the same thing

>Doesn't know what brackets are
>Didn't take discrete math
Are all Euros stupid?

20 / (5(2*2)) is not equal to (20/5)(2*2)

the morons should know how to write eqations.

Yeah, my bad. Thought you said the opposite.

Dude.

The real common core was the friends we made along the way.

I would like to order a bic mac and a cheeseburger

It is a fraction, so 5*(2*2) are inside the denominator. You solve first the denominator, therefore you get 20/20=1

20 / 5 x 4 = 16

20 / 5 / 4 = 1

the / represents a fraction each side of which should be solved seperately.

÷ represents division which is solved left to right.

this is what is confusing you.

the answer is one.

example :
4/2(2) = 1
4÷2(2) = 4

Not according to wolfram. Check it.

No, because it's just a program, and is forced to solve in a predefined order like a calculator. I don't really remember, but I think machines have a slightly different way of doing things.

If something isn't defined sufficiently, it should say so.

Not really. The symbol / specifies that everything that is on the right is the denominator, unless indicated with a parenthesis.

If you follow the order of operations the answer is 1. If you deliberately do the order of operations out of order by dividing before multiplying then the answer is 26. Either way the equation needs to be rewritten with better mathematical grammar

Have ANY of you ever worked with mathematical software?

>and is forced to solve in a predefined order like a calculator
In cases were different orders return different results, then only one order can be correct.
If different orders return the same results, then it doesn't matter if there is only one correct order.

20 / 5 = 4 x 4 = 16

20 / 5 = 4 / 4 = 1

>How to spot someone who never touched a tool in their life

Well, you are supposed to know. It changes it to
>(20/5)(2*2)
Which is clearly not what was written there, and since multiplication and division is not order dependent and left to right is not actually a thing. There some calculators that would give you 1.

the equation is ambiguous, it needs to be 20/(5(2*2))

I see a lot of flags ITT that are below America on this graph.

Someone throw this into code and post a screenshot of what it gives. It should follow pemdas, right?

>If you follow the order of operations the answer is 1
?
Multiplication and division are equal in the order of operations, so you go left to right.

It's not defined properly, that's why we have this whole problem, / doesn't tell you what you divide, the problem comes from that for a calculator to see it as 20/(5*(2*2)) you would have to put the parentheses there otherwise it will see it as (20/5)*(2*2) and it is neither as you can surely see, which causes this whole problem.

Unironically this kid is way ahead if most of you.
