asked • 02/16/23Here's the equation that is in question:
1000
—————
480 * 1.73
In this case, the denominator would have to be solved before the division between the numerator and denominator was performed, even though the denominator is not in parentheses, right?
If I remember correctly, the numerator and denominator have to be solved separately before the division between them is performed, regardless if there are any parenthesis or not.

1000/480x17.3
= 100/48x17.3
=50/24x1.73
= 25/12x1.73
=25/20.76
=about 1.204
you can divide 1000 by 480 1st or just reduce 1000/480 to 25/12 1st
25/12= 2 1/12 = 2.08333...
2.08333.../1.73= 1.204238921...
=about 1.2

So with this question, it does make a difference between if the denominator was in parenthesis or not? Isn't there a general rule that the numerators and denominators need to be solved separately before dividing the numerator?02/16/23
