5[6 ÷ 22 · 3 - 1] Simplify the expression using the proper order of operations. In the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the steps necessary to simplify the expression and include the final answer in your explanation. Complete your work in the space provided or upload a file that can display math symbols if your work requires it.
Our answers are correct, ND....
The calculator confirms it......
5(6 / 22 * 3 - 1)
$${\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{6}}}{{\mathtt{22}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right) = {\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{10}}}{{\mathtt{11}}}} = -{\mathtt{0.909\: \!090\: \!909\: \!090\: \!909\: \!1}}$$
And besides, two great minds like ours can never be mistaken............LOL!!!!
5[6 ÷ 22 · 3 - 1] Remember that we perform any multiplications/divisions as we encounter them from left to right....so.....working inside the brackets first, we have
5[ (6/22)*(3) -1] =
5[(18/22) - 1] =
5[9/11 - 1] =
5[9/11 - 11/11] =
5 [-2/11] =
-10/11
We got some different answers here so I'll solve it myself and hopefully we'll get a two of the same answer.
5[6 ÷ 22 · 3 - 1] ---Write this as a fraction
5[6/22 · 3 - 1] ---Simplify the fraction
5[3/11 · 3 - 1] ---Multiply 3/11 times 3
5[9/11 - 1] ---Rewrite as two fractions
5[9/11- 11/11] ---Subtract
5[-2/11] ---Multiply out
CPhill and I both got this answers, so it should be right.
