Can you solve this with steps included

Question

2+(1*2)-3/4^2

What are the steps to finding the answer for this expression? How can you show me the steps that need to be taken to accomplish this task?

Answer 1

PEMDAS is the arithmetic order of operations

Do what's in Parentheses 1st

Exponents 2nd

Multiplication 3rd

Division 4th

Addition 5th

Subtraction last

2+(1*2) - 3/4^2

= 2+2 - 3/16

= 4- 3/16

= 64/16 - 3/16

= 61/16

= 3.8125

UNLESS maybe, possibly, you intended to write

2(1*2) - (3/4)^2

then it equals

4 - 9/16

=(64/16) -9/16

= 55/16

= 3.4375
