Question 1172603
1/2(1.5+3/4÷1/4)<br>

By PEMDAS, this is the same as  (1/2)*(1.5+3/4+1/4)
which is  (1/2)*(2.5)  or  1.25  (or 5/4 as a fraction)

-----
@tutor greenestamps: it is 1/4 inside the paren's not 4/1...

Never mind, I see now it is a divide symbol, not a plus + sign :-(

1/2(1.5+3/4 / (1/4)) = (1/2)(1.5+(3/4)*(4/1)) = (1/2)(4.5) = 2.25, yes...  sry
