(3+1/2)x14 is it 49
Mr. Schaum used 10 buckets to collect rainfall in various locations on his property. The line plot shows the amount of rain collected in each bucket in gallons. Write and expression multiplication to show how to find the total amount of water collected in gallons then solve your expression.
What line plot?
Yes.
To solve the expression (3 + 1/2) × 14, we need to follow the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
Let's break down the calculation step by step:
1. Begin by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses: (3 + 1/2) = 3.5
(Adding a whole number, 3, with a fraction, 1/2, gives us 3.5.)
2. Now, we can perform the multiplication: 3.5 × 14 = 49
(Multiply 3.5 by 14 to get the final result.)
Therefore, the answer to the expression (3 + 1/2) × 14 is indeed 49.
