Question 1018323: solve for n
n=575/8*2/9
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! no parentheses, so you go from left to right in the following order.
exponents first
multiplications and divides next
additions and subtractions next.
your equation is:
n = 575/8*2/9
all multiplications and divides so just do them from left to right.
575/8 = 71.875
71.875 * 2 = 143.75
143.75 / 9 = 15.9722222........
with parentheses to clearly identify the order, this would look like this:
n = 575/8*2/9 becomes ((575/8)*2)/9
you would do the inner parentheses first which would be 575/8.
you would do the next inner parentheses next which would be (575/8)*2
you would do the next inner parentheses next which would be ((575/8)*2)/9
in fraction form, the operation would look like this:
n = 575/8*2/9
575/8 = 575/8
575/8 * 2 = (575*2)/8
((575*2)/8)/9 = (575*2)/(8*9)
simplify this to get 575/(4*9) = 575/36
convert this to decimal form and you get 15.9722222......; same as above.
