86% Answer Correctly
55 mph
75 mph
20 mph
40 mph

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{80mi}{4h} \)
20 mph

Solve 5 + (3 + 3) ÷ 3 x 3 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
-14
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (3 + 3) ÷ 3 x 3 - 52
P: 5 + (6) ÷ 3 x 3 - 52
E: 5 + 6 ÷ 3 x 3 - 25
MD: 5 + \( \frac{6}{3} \) x 3 - 25
MD: 5 + \( \frac{18}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{15}{3} \) + \( \frac{18}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{33}{3} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{33 - 75}{3} \)
\( \frac{-42}{3} \)
