>20 / 5 ( 2 * 2 )

My answer is 16. I check it with wolfram alpha now and it says the answer is: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=20+%2F+5+(+2+*+2+)
= 16.
the equation is vague with pemdas.
It's an equation that starts arguments.
Apparently it takes away the advantage children with education have over those ghetto retard school children as parents don't understand this shit as they've been taught the old method.
It is supposed to make more abstract math subjects, high school and college level, easier due to the same thought process being used; seems like a bunch of gibberish to me though as the answers seem to be some 1984 newspeak bullshit.

How do you get one? I'm 31 and got 16 using "the old way"
That is 16, anyone who says otherwise it retarded.
by the way the "old way" (which is wrong objectively) is right > left

Is it true that with PEMDAS, multiplication and division is to be done left to right, but before exponents?
Like in the equation 4/8(4-2), I would solve (4-2), then divide 4 by 8, and then multiply by the (2)?

I think saying the old way yields 1 should be the main takeaway. It's objectively false and seems like propaganda. I was educated in math at Catholic schools long before Common Core was even a thing and everyone I know would come to the same answer: 16.
It's shilling for Common Core.

Never before exponents, and it's my understanding that if you only have division and multiplication the order doesn't matter.
old way:
20/(5*(2*2)) = 1
common core:
(20/5)*(2*2) = 16
This is what they do. I have no idea why though.
>>80373112
The numbers before the exponent are attached to the exponent but not in the way you retards think or troll. Exponents first niggers. Not mere division

If you're not mathematically illiterate, you know it doesn't matter which direction you go but Everytime we have this thread there are hundreds of posts that give this same incorrect justification.
Division and multiplication are equal operations, neither gets precedence and which operation is where is irrelevant.
In the op's sentence, you treat the 20/5 as as multiplication by a fraction yielding 20*(1/5)*(2*2). In this way, it doesn't matter if your next step is 4* (4) or 20*(4/5) the answer will always be 16.
Also sage since this thread has been posted a million times and always hits the bump limit.

They treat everything to the right of the division sign as though it was the denominator of a fraction, but it shouldn't be treated as such here because it's written left to right. If they wanted it to be treated that way, they would've enclosed 5 ( 2 * 2 ) in brackets like:
20 / [ 5 ( 2 * 2 ) ]

How in what retarded old way it could be 1?
>>80373371

Because of the order of operations, the correct answer is 16. After solving for the brackets, you go from left to right.

Too many retards herw. Chink here too, both are correct because it is "subjective" / or it doesn't have real value and only has a value if we assign a value to it.

Doing it that way would make absolutely no sense.
Now, there should probably not be a space between the 5 and the (2 * 2) to be completely syntactically correct in my opinion, but that is just nitpicking I suppose.
The correct way to evaluate this (obviously) is:
20 / 5 * (2*2)

The answer is 1.
The niggers and spics will come up with 16 and never gain employment except digging their own graves. Common Core won't dumb down whites, it will just finish off the browns (except Asians) and this is poetic justice!

Yes it is a photoshop. Look at the right hand corner at the top of the projection that's off the screen

>what is PEMDAS
Anyways, this is just an attack on mathematics. Absolute math was viewed as a gateway to a higher truth by the Greeks and corrupting it is a way for the Left to destroy the basis of existence.

except that classroom in op pic is full of white children. but anyhow, i did read a jew was the actual person behind pushing common core in the schools. his photo was posted here before

>>80370552
Who writes a fraction line like a slash? Write it like normal people do and your problem is solved.
It's 16, what the fuck is wrong with you niggers?
You do brackets 1st, exponents second and then ,from left to right, you divide and multiply and then again, from left to write you add and subtract.
It isn't 20/(5*(2*2))
>>80375565
π/5=π*(1/5)
OK.
it's ambiguous. PEMDAS isn't a rule of mathematics.
the ambiguity is in whether the phrase is expressing *the quantity 20 divided by 5* times *the quantity 2 times 2*; or 20 divided by *the quantity 5 times the quantity 2 times 2*.
both have different answers. there is no right answer, it's ambiguous. it shouldn't be written like that, one should place parentheses somewhere so that the term is no longer ambiguous.
if you want to say "in the case of ambiguity, we will perform multiplication before any division", but that's not really any kind of logical necessity. division IS multiplication in the real numbers anyway.
>>80375644
Do you put brackets around the number 0 when you see it?
>>80375566
It is not subjective and it is impossible to do it any other way. The only answer is 16. Common core is bullshit

You re wrote the equation incorrectly.

>>80375754
Now you're telling me pi equals your multiply by inverse for division theory. Where. Did. The. Fucking. Five. Come from?

WTF? I don't get it. Boy's answer is right, wtf?

>>80375674
>what is PEMDAS
Not sure if you're saying that the "old" way is correct according to PEMDAS. The M and D are given the same priority and are then evaluated from left to right according to PEMDAS.
Therefore going from
=20 / 5 * 4
to
=20 / 20
is incorrect.
>>80375730
Well your shit math doesnt even have a fucking name
>>80375754
Yes, X*.2 = X(1/5)
>>80375888
1 / 5 = .2 you fuckwit
>>80375814
I'm really confused
Is
>>80374870
Correct or not?
I have no idea what common core is
It depends on what you see the / as, if you see it the same way as ÷ its 16, if you see it as a fraction it's 1
Done
>>80375028
>>80375045
It's not you fucking retards. If it was a fraction it would have to be 20/(5*(2*2))

Keyboards dont have a ÷ button, and who remembers alt codes
>>80375888
What the fuck are you even talking about? I never said anything about an inverse. Also, inverse and reciprocal are not the same thing.
Please go take a higher mathematics course and then we can try again.
>>80374742
This is how you libcucks always argue your busted points. You have nothing, answer is 1.
>>80375993
Yeah, I learned it as BEDMAS in my Canadian school too, I just say PEMDAS because that seems to be what they teach in the US. I don't want to confuse things further
>>80374109
Nigger here. Learned it as

>>80376079
You all failed. You're all retarded. If an equation says x/pi you would introduce a 5 and multiply by -.2 rather than just divide

Common core is retarded. Its for all the people who never understood the PEMDAS method of maths.
>>80376111
Now we bring in reciprocal. Nigger said division can always be done by multiplying its inverse. I said do it with an equation with pi in it. 62 posts of floundering. Muh engineering. Muh stem

Fucking trolls the lot of you.
>>80376211
Nope, it's 1. Old uncle Euler needs to have a chat with you.
So some niggers fail at taxes, no big deal. Whites will always come up with 1. 1 is the only correct answer.
>>80376080
I would say the answer is 16, but the other anons have a point with their fractions
>>80375982

All programming languages say the answer to this math problem is 16. Therefore the only correct answer is 16.
Programming math is the foundation of all modern society, technology, medicine, computers. It trumps anything else.
