Which expression has a value of 22? a. 14 + 2 x 5. b. (14+2) x 5 c. 24 - 6÷ 3. d. (24 - 6) ÷ 3

Use PEMDAS:

PParentheses first

EExponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MDMultiplication and Division (left-to-right)

ASAddition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

A. 14 + 2 × 5 = 14 + 10 = 24 ≠ 22

B. (14 + 2) × 5 = 16 × 5 = 80 ≠ 22

C. 24 - 6 ÷ 3 = 24 - 2 = 22

D. (24 - 6) ÷ 3 = 18 ÷ 3 = 6 ≠ 22

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
