minus-square Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink1•10 months agoIncorrect, pemdas puts multiplication before division.
minus-square Kalash ( @theKalash@feddit.ch ) linkfedilink3•edit-210 months ago Incorrect, pemdas puts multiplication before division. Only in the literaly order of the words. It stands for “Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction” Notice the “/” between multiplication and division instead of a comma? That means these have the same priority.
minus-square Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink1•10 months agoWell there’s the problem. I maintain this to be a mistake.
minus-square Kalash ( @theKalash@feddit.ch ) linkfedilink2•10 months agoOk. You could also maintain that 1 + 1 equals 3 if you wish. Either way you are simply wrong.
minus-square Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink1•10 months agoI don’t think you understand my position if that’s your takeaway.
minus-square Kalash ( @theKalash@feddit.ch ) linkfedilink2•10 months agoYour position is that you disagree with established maths. So you’re kind of a maths-flatearther with your own theories, I get it. But for most people that just summarizes to “being wrong”.
minus-square Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink1•10 months agoHuh? I disagree with the convention, not the underlying math. Pemdas is a design choice lol.

minus-square dillydogg ( @dillydogg@lemmy.one ) linkfedilink1•10 months agoI always thought pemdas was more like P/E/MD/AS with MD and AS occurring left to right
minus-square Strawberry ( @Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink3•10 months agoThis is how I was taught, but also people don’t really use the ÷ symbol in algebra beyond like 6th grade
