Can you solve 8÷2(2+2)?

The first half of the problem

8\2 = 4

Now for the second half

( ) Means that whatever is inside that you do.

(2+2) = 4

Now take the left answer and divide against the right answer = 1

If math people put in more equations, then you work left to right solving each group.

Just like axeling a big rig savvy?

 

You do the ( ) first: that would be 4..multiply 2x4 which is 8.. 8 divided by 8 is 1.... I think

 

All common core math means is showing your work and that all students of a certain grade should have mastered certain skills.

Not exactly - it would be 8 x 20 x40 -10.

These "only geniuses can solve" arithmetic problems are not hard problems, they are poorly written problems that intentionally lead to multiple answers.

 

????????????????????????

 

I'll take a stab at answering the problem.

In America school educators at the Board Level and State Levels around the time of 9-11 was not satisfied with students writing down say


24
+50
_____

74 done.

Oh no.

This is what Common Core wants new students to do

24
50

You work your way vertically
Then you come back up the tree subtracting as you go
Then you fiddle with the numbers around and to the side bar in a certain way

The result is a student scratching out about 6 lines of paper to come up with 74.

Basically puffed up BS make work crap.

I would burn down any school that teaches that crap. 3000 years of Arabic Number System and today's educators muck it all up.

 

Ok, I had to Google this, how can it even be two answers? It just does not have sense. Apparently there is. I just hope people who build spaceships or autonomous driving machines stay on the same page

Internet arguing over viral math problem: 8/2(2+2) = ?

 

(1+7)(2×10)40-30=

(8)(20)40-30=

160x40-30=

6,4000-30=

6,370

Not exactly - it would be 8 x 20 x 40 - 30

 

It's not 2^4, it's 2x4 and the answer is 16 because of missing parentheses.

Simplify first...

8/2(2+2)
8/2(4) which is the same as: 8/2*4

Left to right

8/2*4
4*4
16

If it was

8/(2(2+2)) the answer is:

8/(2(2+2))
8/(2(4))
8/8
1

 

No. No NASA projects for you.
