Find the sum of and and then divide

Answer

When you are asked to find the sum that means we are going to add. Because the phrase says "then divide" we need to put the addition problem in parentheses because of our order of operations. Then we can divide.

Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.

Question

Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.

Divide the product of and by

Answer

When you are asked to find the product that means we are going to multiply. Because we are multiplying and dividing in this question, we do not need to use parentheses because with multiplication and division you work the problem out from left to right. So first we have the multiplication problem, then we divide.

Question

Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.

Find less than the product of and

Answer

The phrase "less than the product" means that we are going to subtract from the answer of our multiplication problem. Because of our order of operations, multiplication will come beore subtraction so we do not need to use parentheses.
