Jonathan September 13th

Today in Jojo's class we went over our homework in groups. Then we asked jojo about questions we had on our homework. We went over a question that was fairly simple. We got it wrong because we didnt follow pemdas.

-25(-4/5)+ 3^3 - 32 / sqrt 4

using order of operation you do exponents first

-25(-4/5)+ 27 - 32 / sqrt4

Next we would multiply and get

20 + 27 - 32/ 2

Now this is were we got it wrong instead of following pemdas and divide we added and we got

47-32/2

15/2

we should of did

-32/2

47-16

31

This is what pemdas means:
P erenthesis

E xponents

M ultiplication

D ivide

A dding

S ubtraction
