The answer depends on the precedence and associativity of the ÷ and × operators. Usually the precedence for them is the same, but considering that their associativity is not generally agreed upon, the problem is henceforth undefined and OP is a fag who sucks like a million dicks daily.
There is only one correct way to do math fuck face
based on this, it seems as though when multiplication, division, and parentheses are involved in an order like this, you just solve left to right
mathlet confirmed
There is one (1) correct answer to this equation and it is not subjective
g-guys???
Alright, first begin by defining the grammar for arithmetic expressions. BNF will be enough. I'll wait.
PEMDAS
2+2 = 4
8 / 8 = 1
Go back to middle school.
its 16
The answer is obvious if you know basic math.
Check it faggot
Well is it 1 or 16?
I fucking hate the parentethicals in math so fucking much. Like the one fucking thing that genuinely pisses me off
You're a goddamn retard
Wrong
8/2(2+2)
8/2(4)
4(4)
16
16 if you go left to right
GRRRRRR THING MAKE GRUG THINK
GRUG NOT LIKE THINK
THING MAKE GRUG ANGRY GRRRRRRRR
>doing Left first instead of PEMDAS
youre the fucking retard here
PEMDAS isnt exactly in order like that. Multiplication and division are done left to right generally.
8/2(2+2)
8/2(4) is then solved left to right
4(4)=16. the answer is 16
1 if you interpret the question as 8/(2(2+2))
16 if you interpret it as (8/2)(2+2)
These threads are retarded.
>in b4 200 replies of retarded faggots who don't know what the OOO is.
Multiplication/division and addition/subtraction are paired together and are done left to right you fucking baboon
4.
The 2 outside the brackets cancels out one of them inside the brackets, leaving 8 / 2 = 4
this is why in higher level math we don't use that division symbol
Questions like these are intentionally crafted to fuck with you and nothing else.
It's obtuse and wouldn't fly at university
If you write it as 8/(2(2+2)) then it's 1, but solved left to right it's 16
PEMDAS is a meme for 4th graders.
Multiplication and division have the same priority, so you have to proceed from left to right. Same goes for addition and subtraction by the way.
It should be PE[MD][AS]
Now to see how much of Zig Forums is retarded.
This.
t. a fucking engineer that breathes this shit
You can't into math.
This is unambiguous and has only one valid solution.
You interpret it how it is fucking written REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's 16 you stupid fucking nigger bitch cunt
1
...
>Calling other retards while refering PEMDAS
Left to right, that's how you read
Fuck
Actual math teacher detected.
Im seething just thinking about this smug fucking teacher and her liberal arts degree teaching a new generation of people.
a = (2+2) = 4
8/2a = 8/8 = 1
Post that common core math shit
exterior of parenthesis = a multiplication sign
thats the only thing you need to know in order to figure things like this out
the P in order of operations refers to solving the operations WITHIN parenthesis, not executing literally everything associated with the parenthesis
like the reason they are in the parenthesis to begin with is to indicate that the equation within needs to be solved first, how do people not get that, the rules arent just arbitrary, its not about memorization, you just need to understand the logic of whats being written out
...
Come on dude I'm fucking mathematically retarded and even I can get this one
28
Any resources on calculus 2?
if you don't PEMDAS, you're literally a fucking gormless retard who fucks up numbers.
>t.brainlet
Double daggers.
you changed nothing about the nature of the debate by making 'a' a variable. kys
both are correct. but most computers evaluate expressions from left to right, using PEMDAS. So your calculator will probably evaluate parenthesis first, then multiplication, then division. resulting in 1.
But since multiplication and division are related operations and take equal precedence (multiplication is a glorified sum and division is a glorified sum of negative and positive integers), this expression is equivalent to:
8 / ((2+2) + (2+2))
8 + (- 8) = 0, quocient 1, remainder 0.
If done left to right, while taking equal precedence, the expression evaluates as such:
8 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 * (2+2) = 4*(2+2), quocient 4, remainder zero.
(2+2) + (2+2) + (2+2) + (2+2) = 16.
0 Nukes was not enough
False retard
Fuck. I get how they got 16 but it's just wrong
There are only a few solutions, whichever the game accepts is "right" so just try 'em and move on
>Missed some kind of note with a combo on it
>Lock only has three digits
>Brute force it instead of wanderning around looking at random
You know what avoids ambiguities? Rigor. Do what I asked for in , define exactly what you mean by that expression and then literally all questions will be answered.
>Takes 10 minutes to cut first piece
>Suddenly able to cut next piece in half the time despite not speeding up
forgot parenthesis on 8 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2, before the mathnazis come hunting my skin
This, these retards forgot elementary school math
Syntactically it's 16 but the coefficient 2 is intentionally set up to make it ambiguous as to whether the answer is 16 or 1. Enjoy your cheap (You)'s OP while 500 people argue this same shit back and forth for the millionth time.
Image related. It's how I looked upon first seeing that.
>I have a small white penis
All the confusion stems from using the stupid division symbol instead of a fraction like a normal person. 8/2 (2+2) is very fucking simple, but when you involve a symbol that you only see in fucking kindergarten and literally never after, of course people are going to fuck it up because they haven't had to solve and equation or simplify an expression that uses that thing.
I guarantee if every single Common Core v. PEMDAS troll dropped the division symbol and used fractions, not a single person on Earth would have a problem doing this.
8/2 (2+2)
4(2+2)
8+8
16
Done.
If she folds the board in half first, she can cut into 4 pieces in still only 10 minutes. The extra 5 mins allows time for the folding, so the teacher isn't wrong.
only if you believe pemdas as truth
The expression is self defined it is right in front of your face. Are you blind? Typing on a Braille keyboard right now?
you always do parentheses first though
but it's BEDMAS though
Parentheses first means the inside of the parentheses first, retard. You'd get
8 / 2 (2+2)
8 / 2*4
4*4
16
The way you did it you resolve the multiplication before the parentheses, which is wrong.
>higher level
more like middle school, I don't remember ever using a division symbol outside of whenever I first learned it
This woman singlehandedly fucked up an entire generation.
teachers are shit tier text book parroting political propaganda machines.
That picture is older then you.
That's fake.
Piss off.
>Following BEDMAS
8/2(2+2)
>Solve brackets first
8/2(4)
>2(4) is just 2*4 so we can read it essentially as 8/2*4 so with no exponents we solve the Divisions and/or Multiplication steps starting from left and going right, starting with the 8/2
4(4)
>We now do the last action left, the multiplication 4(4) which can be read as 4*4
16
The you go user.
Folding isn't a given criteria. Shit you could just say she ordered some of Amazon instead in 2 minutes since we're doing whatever we want now.
The education of a northerner, folks.
lmao at these brothas who never been to woodshop
5min set up
5min per cut
ezpz
>game is hard unless you know the "trick" and then it becomes super easy
In terms of mixing up division and multiplication, remember that division is simply multiplication by 1/that number.
So 12 / 6 * 4 is simply (1/12) * 6 *4.
Likewise, think of 8/2 (2+2) as 1/8 * 2/1 (2/1 +2/1)
I hope this makes sense.
It's 1 even if you don't "multiply" first. It's
8
-------------
2(2+2)
You can either multiply out the 2 and 4 and get 8 which gives 1, or you can cancel out the 2 first which gives 4/4 which is 1, fucking b8ing retards.
why can't americans do math?
