Question

How do you PEMDAS for expression with fraction bars?

Answer 1

Hint: In order to solve this question we need to know about PEMDAS. It is the acronym which helps in remembering the order of operations needed to be performed while simplifying a question. As we read PEMDAS, letter by letter from left to right we get to know that the preference or the priorities of the operators start getting lesser. We solve the operator of higher priority first, taking the operands from either of two sides of the operator and then calculating it terms by terms as per their precedence.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the given question, we are required to apply PEMDAS rule for simplification of expressions with fraction cars and we are supposed to simplify each term to get a single answer of each term and again simplify in the same manner until we get the single answer.
Using the PEMDAS, it suggests that P stands for Parentheses, E stands for Exponents, M stands for Multiplication, D stands for Division, A stands for Addition, S stands for Subtraction.
So as per the rule, Parentheses should be solved first followed by Exponents. Multiplication, division addition and subtraction. If an expression consists of fraction bars, then they have to be solved even before the parentheses

Note: While performing the simplification using PEMDAS also accepts to solve by the rule of PEMDAS. Parentheses is not an operation but can be considered as a container for operations. It’s easier but needs to be simplified carefully as the variations in the priorities can result in obtaining wrong answers. Multiplication and Division have the same equal powers in computing. Also, Addition and subtraction have equal powers in computing.
