Question

Use the order of operations to simplify the given expression.(12÷3⋅3)^2

Answer 1

Problem Statement

The question gives us the following expression to simplify:

`(12/3.3)^2`

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use PEDMAS.

1. We have to solve the Parenthesis first.

2. After solving the Parenthesis, we can solve any other thing outside.

Implementation

1. Solving the Parenthesis:

We have a division and multiplication operation in the parenethesis. We must solve from left to right in this case since division and multiplication have the same priority.

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 12/3.3 \\ \text{Solving division first:} \\ 12/3=4 \\ \\ \text{Solving multiplication next} \\ 4.3=12 \end{gathered}`

2. Solving what is outside the parenthesis, we have:
