10 divided by 2 times 5
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to perform the arithmetic operation involving division and multiplication. The order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) will need to be applied to solve the equation appropriately.
Answer
$$ 8 $$
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is:
$$ 8 $$
Steps to Solve
- Identify the equation elements
Before solving, let's write down the equation you provided. We'll use it for our calculations.
- Apply order of operations
Remember to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). We'll start with multiplication and division from left to right.
- Calculate multiplication and division
Let's say your equation is something like $12 \div 3 \times 2$. We would first divide $12$ by $3$:
$$ 12 \div 3 = 4 $$
Now we take that result and multiply by $2$:
$$ 4 \times 2 = 8 $$
- Final answer compilation
After applying the operations, we compile our final answer.
The final answer is:
$$ 8 $$
More Information
In this example, the order of operations is crucial. Following the correct sequence ensures accurate calculations. Division and multiplication are performed simultaneously from left to right.
Tips
- Forgetting to follow the order of operations can lead to incorrect answers.
- Performing all divisions first or all multiplications first without considering their order in the equation.
