How do you perform order of operations with fractions, exponents, and whole numbers?

If you haven't learned pemdas, it's a great way to remember things. P: parentheses E: exponents MD: multiplication/division (either or) AS: addition/subtraction (either or) Meaning you solve in that order Ex, (1+2/4)-5^2/2 First we do the parentheses so 1+2/4 And within that we do the division before the addition 1+1/2 Then add 3/2 So it's now 3/2+5^2/2 Next is exponents so 5^2=25 Then add 3/2 and 25/2 to get 28/2, which is simplified to 14
Hope I helped :)

I believe you multiply the fraction to make it a number, and it depends with whole nembers if you're adding/ subtracting

To solve expressions with fractions, exponents, and whole numbers, follow the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). For example, in the expression 2 + 3 ร— ( 4 โˆ’ 2 ) 2 รท 2 , we perform operations in the prescribed order to arrive at the final answer of 8 .
