Question

How do you calculate `(77.2 times 3^3)/ (3.60 times 2^2)`?

Answer 1

`(77.2xx9)/(3.60xx4)=48.25`

Explanation:

Follow the order of operations:
P: parentheses (brackets)
E: exponents
M: multiplication
D: division
A: addition
S: subtraction

Note: Multiplication and Division are equal and are performed from left to right. Addition and Subtraction are equal and are performed from left to right.

Simplify `(77.2xx3^3)/(3.60xx2^2)`.

Take care of the exponents first.

`(77.2xx9)/(3.60xx4)`

Now multiply the numbers in the numerator and the numbers in the denominator.

`694.8/14.4`

Divide the numerator and denominator.

`(694.8)/(14.4)=48.25`
