divide 15 into thirds and subtract from 14 divide in half
15/3-14/2
^_^
To solve this problem, we'll follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) and break it down step by step.
1. Divide 15 into thirds:
To divide 15 into thirds, you need to divide 15 by 3, since there are three equal parts in a whole.
15 ÷ 3 = 5
2. Subtract 5 from 14:
Now that you have the result from the first step, you need to subtract it from 14.
14 - 5 = 9
3. Divide 9 in half:
To divide 9 in half, you need to divide it by 2, as there are two equal parts in a whole.
9 ÷ 2 = 4.5
So, the final result is 4.5.
