1. mcnishka

2

2. mcnishka

2*3=6 6/3=2

3. UnkleRhaukus

my computer is telling me it equal 1/2

4. Kaederfds

5. mcnishka

6. mcnishka

unless you didnt put in the correct question

7. UnkleRhaukus

\ is different to /

8. mcnishka

what is the name of the sign being used. is that a divide sign?

9. UnkleRhaukus

left division,

10. UnkleRhaukus

a under b a\b = b over a b/a

11. Kaederfds

12. mcnishka

yes its correct

13. UnkleRhaukus

how do order of operations work with left division

14. hash.nuke
15. UnkleRhaukus

i know right , different machines give different answers

16. cornitodisc

yes,,its 1/2

17. iheartfood

either way u get 2 as the answer... 2x3=6/3=2 and then 3/3=1x2=2 so yeah answer is 2!

18. iheartfood

USE PEMDAS! :) PEMDAS is super useful :)

it's 2 * 3\3 not 2 * 3/3

21. lgbasallote

those are different

22. godorovg

2*3\3= so we have 2times three that is being divided by 3. first we times (2) and (3) = 6 than we divide the six by 3 which gives us the answer 2.

23. lgbasallote

\ is not division

24. godorovg

okay than what is this / ?

25. lgbasallote

like unkle said above.. a\b = b/a

26. godorovg

But still the a/b =b/a are being divided

27. Neuromancer

2

28. godorovg

thank you I knew it was two..

29. lgbasallote

right that's what unkle is saying.. is it $\implies 2 \times 3 \text \ 3 \implies 2 \times 3/3 \implies 2 \times 1 \implies 2$ or $\implies 2 \times 3 \text \ 3 \implies 6 \text \ 3 \implies 3/6 \implies 1/2$

30. lgbasallote

unkle is asking how does the order of operations go in back division

31. godorovg

so this question was about how a/b = b/a so the other answer than would 1/2 or 2 not just two.

32. godorovg

I admit this one had me a bit fooled here. But oh well life goes on..

33. godorovg

Live and learn..
