You don't do math calculation from left-to-right or opposite. Math is universal. to be 1 it should have been 20 / (2*(5+5)) = 1
the way it's written is 20 * (1/2) * (5 + 5) , since / 2 = *(1/2)

Says the guy who thinks you don't remove parenthesis after you have calculated them

This is how you calculate
20÷2 (5+5)=
20/2(10)=
20/(20)=
1 or technically its still 20/(20) or "20 / * 20"

You remove "()" after you have calculated

for example
2(5+5)/20 =
2*10/20=
20/20=
1

That time the multiplication is first

it depents on how you interpret the excercise.
the ones who got 100 interpreted the "20 / 2" term as "twenty halfs", the ones who got 1 (the right answer) interpreted the term as "20 / (2*(5+5))".

the reason this would be correct is because the 2 is directly connected to the "(5+5)" term, causing it to gain a higher priority in order of calculating.

if you get 1, you're an idiot
its essentially (20 / 2) x 10 = 100
or since the 10 isn't stuck in brackets with the 2 you can write it as
20 x 10 /2
>>
>>604401634
No. Don't be a faggot. There is no interpretation of a problem outside of how it is written.

20 / 2 (5+5)
20 / 2 (10) = 20 / 2 x 10
10 x 10
100

Why are you treating the entire right side after the division sign as if they're grouped? They're not. It's 20/2(5+5), not 20/(2(5+5). Once you finish (5+5) = 10, you're left with 20/2*10, not 20/(2*10).
You're not simplifying 2*10 because they're not both on the bottom of the fraction since that would be grouping them when they weren't grouped in the first place.
Once you have 20/2*10, it's left to right since multiplication and division have the same precedence.

The equation is malformed. Division and Multiplication have the same priority. If you fix it by writing

how do you get from (5+5) to (10+10)???

and no, theres no difference between ":", "/" and "÷", they're all signs for division, the difference is that some characters are used in some computer languages.

Like i said, it is malformed. It doesn't mean anything without it being corrected.All i did was choose what had the priority, multiplication or division, because normally they both have the same priority. It really depends on what whoever created the equation meant with it. Either way he is an idiot or a troll for writing the equation like that. The latter is more likely.

First you add the fives together, then you multiple ten, the sum of 5 + 5, by 2, no sign in between the the 2 and the parentheses is implied multiplication, and you get 20. 20 divided by 20 will forever and always be 1. There is now way half of you are that fucking dense.

20/2(5+5)
Okay, let us take this one step at a time
FIRST PARENTHESIS!
20/2(10) or equally correct 20/2*10
NEXT MULTIPLICATION/DIVISION FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
THEREFORE
20/2 = 10
LEAVING
10(10)=
100
basic order of operations, you do not multiply before dividing, you do both simultaneously from left to right. It is a basic rule of mathematics. Putting 10 in parenthesis does not give it first order, parenthesis is just another way of saying multiply.
>>
>>604410133
> YOU GO LEFT TO RIGHT
Actually that's just a rule in schools to makes things easy. When people do real math they tend to use parenthesis,brackets,etc. so they don't leave any priority holes.

Look into it. Parenthesis gives priority only to what is inside them, not what is outside. You would not multiply 10 by 2 before dividing 20 by 2. Please never go into any mathematics fields.

I can't believe I'm posting on one of these stupid fucking troll posts... nevertheless, there is a basic misunderstanding about "order of operations" that all of you cuntbags who get "100" make... the very first operation - parenthesis - does not mean you only start with what is inside a parenthetical; it means you deal entirely with the parenthetical first before moving on to the next operation. Thus, 2(x+y) is not actually 2*(x+y) FOR PURPOSES OF THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS; it is 2(x+y) = (2x + 2y). The fact that you are given known quantities for x and y - here, x=5 and y=5 - makes no difference in how you deal FIRST with the entire parenthetical, which INCLUDES multiplying the 2, which applies EQUALLY to everything within. So 20/2(5+5), unless specifically expressed as 20/2*(5+5), is actually expressing:
___20___
2(5+5).

Division and Multiplication have the same priority when there are no parenthesis. OP intentionally put them together so people would argue. When doing math that shouldn't happen, that's why parenthesis, brackets, etc. exist. So people can write equations in a way conflicts are avoided.

I'd usally do the division and pultiplication in the order they come:
20/2=10
10*(5+5)=10*10=100
BUT!:
What really irritates me is the missing multiplication sign between 2 and (5+5), because if i remeber it right, if you caculate with 2y instead of 2*y, for example, the mulitpication is done first, so it would be:
2*(5+5)=2*(10)=20
20/20=1
