FUCKING WEAPON GRADE AUTISM M8

I'm settling this before this gets over 100 replies. To solve this, use
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiply
Divide
Add
Subtract

We do the parentheses first, and you perform addition and subtraction from left to right, so you get 4 in the parentheses: 6-3=3+1=4.

Now you divide, since multiplication and division are also performed in order of occurrence left to right. 8/2=4.

Now you multiply. 4*4=16.

16 is the correct answer.

The answer is 1 you fuck goofs

Why did you multiply 2(4) first instead of dividing by 8/2. You have to do multiplication/division from left to right. There is no order between the two.

You distribute the 2 before doing any division.

>>684373845
There is a systemic issue with this, and you are a retarded troll. Addition and subtraction both occur within the parentheses. Without a meaningful context it's anybody's game. If we were adding and subtracting integers of a like assignation the equation itself would be flawed because order of real operations and not simply theoretical non designated operations simply would not apply meaningfully. Generally in this case add/subtract and multiply/divide move left to right, so only parentheses and exponents take individual precedence whereas multiplication/division and addition/subtraction use a sequential notation. As such... god I can't believe I have to clarify math I learned in high school or that ops leading post guided so many so hard..

8/2(6-3+1)
8/2(3+1)
Now, what is within the parentheses takes precedence ONLY WITHIN THE PARENTHESES and, once consolidated
8/2X4 becomes another factor in the greater whole of the equation.
8/2x4, since mul/div are equal and sequential, is 16.

Fuck off with your 1 you stupid out of order idiots

>>684378524
Don't act like you don't chuckle at it.

It should be written as "(8/2)(6-3+1)"
It is a product of a ratio and quantity.

>>684378217
There's no requirement for it to be an integer. 1.5/0 is undefined.

You're retarded. The quantity is multiplied by the numerator in his question, the way you typed it its multiplied by the denominator. this is due to computational syntax and how it differs from normal syntax. the inherent restraints of a single line entry system become apparent if you've ever taken a programming class in your life.

1/2x is not x/2 you tards, the 1/(2x) is implied, but computers only due operations to the next defined value after the sign, that's what parenthesis are so integral to single line entry computers.

Multiplication and Division are identical operations (Multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2), so treating one as higher on the hierarchy than the other is nonsense.

>>684380772
Parenthesis implies multiplication, not immediate multiplication. It does not take precedence over the earlier division unless further parenthesis are used,

>>684382672

Because multiplication and division are the exact same thing, so there's no reason to privilege one over the other.

>>684381416
Yet again, due to the inherent faults of single line entry this is an issue. We are unaware if intention was to multiply by the numerator or not.

If you see 1/2x on a test, you assume the numerator is the term 2x, but on a single line entry it is operational and the answer is .5x

From a computational standpoint, yes it's 16, from a literal standpoint it's 1.

I wouldn't expect anyone to know its 16 unless they've taken some programming class, but I guess since computers is the only real established basis for single line entry and the other is just situational and based on the idea that OP forgot to add parenthesis, I guess the answer is undoubtly 16.

>>684381839

Oh look, it's this thread again.
No self-respecting person would write an equation like that, so the answer is irrelevant

>>684382932

I still don't get it. If I got 16 and 16 is right that's all that mattera

Bad b8 or retard? × is not ÷

You distribuye the two, which isn't in the order of operations, making it wrong.

>>684382952
Wut

>>684383320

Wait 1? No it's 16

>>684383224

There's ambiguity as to whether 16 is actually right or not. If you read the problem as

(8/2)*4

Then of course, you get 16. If you read it as

8/(2*4)

You get 1. Which one is correct is unclear, and pemdas does not alleviate the ambiguity, as there's not actually any difference between multiplication and division.

>>684383261

Describe how 8*(.5) is different from 8/2. Retard.

I keep going back and fourth. This problem is just shit notation that can be interpreted in two ways, even though it should only be interpreted in the top of pic related.

Because /b/ is a den of retards.

>>684383776

And not an argument in sight.

PEMDAS says that the M and D are interchangeable in order of occurrence, so the answer is 16.

>>684383882

No argument needed, it's fucking 16

>>684375533
Distributive property retard

Pls dont go into a math related career

>>684383996

Math related career? You mean math teacher? Uh ok I'll try

>>684384055
ah ok ur just being a nigger
carry on

>>684383513

You changed the divisor to prove yourself.
Bad b8 is bad

>>684383731
How the fuck did you get 2 you mongoloid

>>684384209

Nigga what? I expressed division as multiplication. Was that hard to follow?

>>684384390

He interpreted PEMDAS literally and managed to do -3+1= - 4.

Smh at people who dont know how PEMDAS works

>>684383513
You didn't really multiply and divide 8 by a half, you just rewrote the multiplication twice.

They aren't the same operation you tard, they are inversely of one another. It's read as 8 divided by 2, or 8 times 1/2

Inherently different functions, 7/3/7/7/4(5) is gonna go left to right because the reason pemdas is left to right, is because of single line entries like so. The problem is the division sign, multiplication can be done in any order but division can not. Same with substraction and addition.
