Why is it 16? I get order of operations. But multiplication and division can be inverted into each other, so the equation can be morphed into:
8 divided by 2 divided by 1/4
Or, 8 times 1/2 times 4
Because it’s the same operation, the commutative property states that either works.…
I understand your reasoning, but I think it’s unfair that 16 is the only answer you would accept. Sometimes, ambiguity is necessary, especially with students who have a deeper interest in math. Restricting them from giving an answer that is technically correct is unfair.
Even though I feel isolated with everything around me, I surround myself with my escape: music. As long as I have the peaceful music in the back of my mind, letting me know it's okay, I would usually be fine. Also, I try to ignore people who might trigger my depression, OCD, and/or…
So, as soon as I wake up it's in the shower for me. When I get out, I like to law my clothes on the bed. It's kind of hard to do that when you have a heaping blanket on it. I REALLY don't want to, I'm too lazy, but I just have to do it ?
