40*12+5*12*1.5

Question

i need to know what the question would look like with it in pemdas form

Answer 1

Since you only have addition and multiplication, you would perform multiplication then addition.  I will group the numbers associated with common operators using parenthesis to make it clear for you.

 

(40*12) + (5*12*1.5)

 

 

By the way, parenthesis will be first in this case.

Answer 2

    40 * 12 + 5 *12 * 1.5   {distinguish numbers and operators;

                                  note: "." is part of a number)

 

Use P-E-M-D-A-S.

Scan left-to-right for highest precedence; restart scan (perhaps within parentheses) when replacement made.

 

    40 * 12 + 5 * 12 * 1.5         [Multiplication]

    480        + 5 * 12 * 1.5        [Multiplication]

    480 +        60        * 1.5       [Multiplication]

    480 +        90                       [Addition]
