Convert to standard form: 6+(8x1/10)

Answer 1

 6+(8x1/10)

Remember PEMDAS?

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication/Division (from left to right)

Addition/Subtraction (from left to right)

Also, Standard Form is defined by the decimal numbers is the same as that of whole numbers, Any number that we can write as a decimal number, between 1.0 and 10.0, multiplied by a power of 10, is said to be in standard form.

Step 1: Parenthesis

(8x1/10)

Step 2: No Exponents, next we see Multiplication

8x1= 8

Our expression now looks like this:

6+(8/10)

Rule: Division

a/b = a “division symbol” b

= a “divided by” b

= “how many times” b “goes into” a

Step 3: Division (or we can reduce the fraction 8/10)

We completed Parentheses, there is no Exponents, we completed the multiplication, now we can Divide

Take the Parentheses away as it’s not needed.

6+(8/10) = 6+8/10

Simplify 8/10

8/10 = 4/5

Our new equation is:

6+4/5

Step 4:

we need a common denominator for the 6 since we cannot directly add

6 plus 4/5

We need to turn the 6 into a fraction with the same denominator as 4/5.

Since the common denominator here is 5, we can multiply it by 6 to get a fraction where we can add the numerators together.

*Denominators can never be added, only numerators*

5x6= 30

Turning 6 into a fraction with a common denominator of 5, 30 is our numerator.

Step 5: Now we can add the two fractions

30/5 + 4/5 = (30+4)/5

= 34/5

Step 6: Use long division or a calculator and divide

34/5 = 6.8



ANSWER: 6.8

Answer 2

6 + (8/10)

6 + 0.8

6.8
