[00:00:00]Hi friends, welcome to TurboMath Channel. In this video, we are going to solve three questions about PEMDAS rule.

[00:00:08]In the first question, we have 31 + 48 over 8 * 2 ^ 2 - 10 / 5.

[00:00:16]What is the value of this expression?

[00:00:18]Can you solve it? We have addition, multiplication, exponents, subtraction, and division.

[00:00:25]To solve this question, we need to follow the order of operations, which is PEMDAS.

[00:00:30]PEMDAS shows the priority of the mathematical operations, and if you don't pay attention to the PEMDAS rule, you get the wrong answer.

[00:00:38]In the PEMDAS rule, P stands for parentheses, E stands for exponents, M stands for multiplication, D stands for division, A stands for addition, and S stands for subtraction.

[00:00:54]Multiplication and division have the same level of priority. Also, addition and subtraction have the same level of priority.

[00:01:00]When we have both in an expression, we start from the left and simplify the question. Okay, guys.

[00:01:06]According to the PEMDAS rule, in this question, first we simplify this exponent.

[00:01:11]2 ^ 2 = 4.

[00:01:15]Now, we have 31 + 48 over 8 * 4 - 10 / 5. We have addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division.

[00:01:25]In this step, we simplify this division.

[00:01:28]48 over 8 = 6.

[00:01:33]Now, the question is 31 + 6 * 4 - 10, then divided by 5. We have addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division.

[00:01:45]According to the PEMDAS rule, first we simplify this multiplication.

[00:01:49]6 * 4 = 24.

[00:01:52]Now, we have 31 + 24 - 10, then divided by 5.

[00:01:59]In this step, we have addition, subtraction, and division. According to the PEMDAS rule, first we simplify this division. Negative 10 divided by 5 equals -2.

[00:02:10]Now we have 31 + 24 then minus 2.

[00:02:15]Okay, guys. Because we have addition and subtraction, we start from the left and simplify. 31 + 24 equals 55.

[00:02:25]Now we have 55 minus 2.

[00:02:28]55 minus 2 equals 53.

[00:02:32]The final answer of this question equals 53. Guys, if you want to get the right answer of this question, you must follow the PEMDAS rule.

[00:02:42]If you don't pay attention to the PEMDAS rule, you get the wrong answer. Okay, guys. Let's solve another question about PEMDAS rule.

[00:02:51]144 minus 144 times 6 then over open parentheses 10 minus 7 close parentheses then all of them to the power of 2.

[00:03:02]What is the answer of this question? Can you solve it? We have subtraction, multiplication, division, parentheses, and exponent.

[00:03:10]Again, to solve this question, we need to follow the order of operations, which is PEMDAS.

[00:03:16]PEMDAS shows the priority of the mathematical operations, and if you don't pay attention to the PEMDAS rule, you get the wrong answer.

[00:03:24]In the PEMDAS rule, P stands for parentheses, E stands for exponent, M stands for multiplication, D stands for division, A stands for addition, and S stands for subtraction.

[00:03:39]Multiplication and division have the same level of priority. Also, addition and subtraction have the same level of priority, and when we have both in an expression, we start from the left and simplify the question.

[00:03:51]Let's simplify and solve this question a step by step together. We have 144 minus 144 * 6 then divided by open parentheses 10 minus 7 close parentheses then all of them to the power of two.

[00:04:09]What is the answer of this question?

[00:04:11]According to the PEMDAS rule, first we simplify these parentheses.

[00:04:15]Inside these parentheses, we have subtraction and multiplication.

[00:04:19]Multiplication has higher priority than subtraction. So, first we simplify this multiplication. -144 * 6 = -864.

[00:04:33]Now, we have 144 minus 864.

[00:04:40]144 minus 864 equals -720.

[00:04:49]Now, we have -720 divided by open parentheses 10 minus 7 close parentheses then all of them to the power of two.

[00:04:59]We have division, parentheses, subtraction, and exponents.

[00:05:03]In this step, according to the PEMDAS rule, first we simplify the parentheses.

[00:05:08]10 minus 7 equals 3. Now, we have -720 divided by 3 to the power of two.

[00:05:17]We have division and exponents. In this step, we simplify this exponent. 3 to the power of two equals 9. Now, we have -720 divided by 9.

[00:05:31]-720 divided by 9 equals -80.

[00:05:38]The final answer of this question equals -80.

[00:05:41]Okay, guys. Let's solve another question about PEMDAS rule.

[00:05:47]5/8 to the power of 2 * open parentheses 7 + 1/6 close parentheses. What is the answer of this question? Can you solve it? We have exponent, multiplication, parentheses, and addition.

[00:06:01]Again, to solve this question, we need to follow the PEMDAS rule.

[00:06:05]PEMDAS shows the priority of the mathematical operations, and if you don't pay attention to the PEMDAS rule, you get the wrong answer.

[00:06:13]In this rule, P stands for parentheses, E stands for exponent, M stands for multiplication, D stands for division, A stands for addition, and S stands for subtraction.

[00:06:27]Multiplication and division have the same level of priority. Also, addition and subtraction have the same level of priority, and when we have both in an expression, we start from the left and simplify the question.

[00:06:38]According to the PEMDAS rule, in this question, first we simplify this parentheses.

[00:06:44]We have 7 + 1/6.

[00:06:47]Since the denominator of this fraction is 6, we can write 7 as 42/6.

[00:06:55]Now we have 42/6 + 1/6 inside this parentheses. Okay, guys.

[00:07:01]Now the question is 5/8 to the power of 2 * open parentheses 42/6 + 1/6 close parentheses.

[00:07:11]We have exponent, multiplication, and parentheses.

[00:07:14]Again, according to the PEMDAS rule, first we simplify this parentheses.

[00:07:19]42/6 + 1/6 = 43/6.

[00:07:24]Now we have 5/8 to the power of 2 * 43/6.

[00:07:29]We have exponent and multiplication. In this step, we simplify this exponent.

[00:07:36]5/8 to the power of 2 = 25/64.

[00:07:42]Now we have 25 over 64 * 43 over 6.

[00:07:48]Okay, guys. 25 * 43 = 1,075.

[00:07:55]And 64 * 6 = 384.

[00:08:02]The final answer of this question = 1,075 over 384.
