Question 2:
Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible . What problem solving strategy did you use ?

Answer:
I did 6.4 divided by 4 = 1.6. Then i did 3x 2.8 = 8.4. And then i did 8.4 + 1.6= 10.

The questions for order of operations:
1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 / 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
My Answer:I don't agree because BEDMAS wasn't used , the real answer would be 3.7.
2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible.What problem solving strategy did you use? 3 x 2.8 + 6.4 / 4
My answer: (3 x 2.8 )+ 6.4 /4 because it all adds up to 10 which is the highest.
Strategy: (3 x 2.8)+ 6.4 / 4 8.4 + 6.4 / 4 8.4 + 1.6
10
3. create a problem that could be solved using the following expressions.
2.5 + 1.25 + 5 * 1.6

Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 divided by 2 . She claims the answer is 3.85 . Do you agree ? Explain why or why not .

I don't agree because she didn't follow the BEDMAS rules. If she did 6 divided by 2 first, she would of got 3 and her answer would have turned out to be 4.7.



Question 2 :
Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible . What probelm solving strategy did you use ?


Answer:
Do 6.4 divided by 4 to get 1.6. Then do 3 x 2.8 to get 8.4 and then do the final part which is 8.4 +1.6 to get 10.

Order of Operations



Level 1 ) B - brackets ( )
E - exponents a2
Level 2 ) D - division ( in order from left to right )
M - multiplication
Level 3 ) A - addition (in order form left to right )
S - subtraction

Question 1 :
Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 divided by 2 . She claims the answer is 3.85 . Do you agree ? Explain why or why not .

Answer :
I don't think so , because If the answer was 3.85 she would've used "B.E.D.M.A.S." The real answer is 4.7 because : 6 divided by 2 = 3 , + 1.7 = 4.7 .

( You go by level 2 , then level 3 )

Question 2 :
Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible . What probelm solving strategy did you use ?








First , I did division since it is part of Level 2 , then I did multiplication because that's second after division on Level 2 . Finally , I used addition which was part of Level 3 .



Question 3 :
Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression .

2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6 = 8


Luke's mom's birthday was comming up , and he needed the money to buy her mom one of those pretty necklaces he found at a shop , but the problem was , he only had $2.50 from the money his sister owed her , and $1.25 from his left over change . He had $3.75 . The necklace was $11,75 . He only needed 8 more dollars . One of his friends told him about a job at the small cafe in the city that paid him $1.60 for every hour . His job was to clean up the tables , and clean the dishes after everyone left . He decided to take it since he was only going to be working for a day , after school ended . Luke worked for 5 hours and got the 8 dollars . (5 x 1.6 = 8 ) The very next day , he added the $3.75 and $8.00 together and bought his mom the necklace she hoped for .

AnswerCreate a problem that could be solved using the following expression..
I did (3x2.8)+6.4 divided by 4=
So 3x2.8=8.4+6.4 divided by 4 =10
