Solve 9 - 5(2/3) =
The solution to the expression 9 - 5(2/3) is 4.3333.
When performing operations, the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) should be followed; Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). In this case, multiplication is performed before subtraction.
This is incorrect because it seems to assume that 9 - 5 equals 4, and then subtracts 2/3 from 4, which results in the wrong answer. The multiplication operation should be performed first according to the order of operations.
This is the correct answer. 9 - 5 2/3 leads to 3.333 .
This is incorrect . Since 9 - 5 2/3 is 3.333
This answer is incorrect and could result from a mistake in the multiplication operation.
The solution to the expression 9 - 5(2/3) is 3.3333, as it abides by the order of operations rule. In the subtraction keep in mind the presence of the fraction. 9-5 is 4 but there is the remaining 2/3 therefore 1-2/3 is 1/3 and the 1 is subtracted from the 4 leading to 3 1/3 expressed as 3.333.
