40 + 40 x 0 + 1= ?

[CSkylar86]

P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplication
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtraction

You should have added parentheses to it.

No need, straightforward mathematics...parentheses would have added 'junk' to the equation.

You can calculate this a bunch of different ways, but we were asked to calculate:

40+40x0+1

With the problem written and expressed as it is IN THIS THREAD, the answer is 1.

:why:

Roald, there's really no need to post a pic of your colleagues here ...

 

[brodkill]

but the original question didnt have the brackets

No. it's not.

 

[TheOrangeCat]

No. it's not.

Yes it is.


Your turn ...







































P.S. You're fired

 

[freeones_ssm]

No, it's not.

PS: You're banned.

Yes it is.

No it's not.

PS:

Seriously though. It's not.

Yes it is as written. Not sure of the last time I saw '?' used in a problem or expression

Also, remember who posted this .. he probably thinks the answer is 'carrot'.

Read this!

If you still don´t understand why its 41, hand in your letter of resignation at your work, and toddle back to school, this is simple, and if you don´t understand it you obviously never got beyond 6th grade in school.

A common technique for remembering the order of operations is the abbreviation "PEMDAS", which is turned into the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction". This tells you the ranks of the operations: Parentheses outrank exponents, which outrank multiplication and division (but multiplication and division are at the same rank), and these two outrank addition and subtraction (which are together on the bottom rank). When you have a bunch of operations of the same rank, you just operate from left to right. For instance, 15 ÷ 3 × 4 is not 15 ÷ 12, but is rather 5 × 4, because, going from left to right, you get to the division first. If you're not sure of this, test it in your calculator, which has been programmed with the Order of Operations hierarchy.

And for the love of something... DONT USE WINDOWS CALCULATOR!

PS. Carrots are deadly, stay away from them.

What do you mean by as written? Do you mean just, literally, 40 + 40 x 0 + 1 without the brackets? Because even then, the answer is still 41.

Ugh. I'm still new here, I still have to learn who's a troll and who's just plain stupid

Well, I owe you a 'welcome to the Board'.

Thanks. I'm not, .

Phew ... although, that now makes your oafish behavior even more inexcusable.
