Question

-14/15/ (17/7•2/3)

how do you solve this indicated operation

Answer 1

PEMDAS is the arithmetic order of operations. Do what's inside parentheses 1st, then any exponents (none in this example) then multiplication, then division, then addition, last subtraction P 1st, E 2nd, M 3rd, D 4th, A 5th, S last

inside parentheses i 17/7*2/3 multiplication is next. 7*2 =14

17/14/3 = 17/42 division by 3 is the same as multiplication by 1/3 17/14 x 1/3 = 17/42

-14/15/17/41 = -14/15 x 41/17= -574/255 = about -2 1/4
