got our first homework asignment over the weekend.

one problem reads

2*1*5*2+12/4-56*8

take it one step at a time. multiplication and division before addition and subtraction, from left to right. show every step.

i'll start you off. first operation is the multiplication i bolded.


2*1*5*2+12/4-56*8
=2*5*2+12/4-56*8

now your turn. what's the next operation?

(2*1*5*2) + (12/4) - (56*8)

Hopefully that helps you see things clearly.
