Well that's poorly written math. It depends if its:

 20 20 -------- or ----- * (2*2) 5(2*2) 5

project_mayhem_ · 2017-06-20T23:33:52+00:00

16=1

therefore:

16-1=1-1

15=0

15/15=0/15

1=0

1+1=0+1

2=1

count the number of things in the set that includes feminism and cancer. there are 2.

2=1

therefore, feminism is cancer

Parentheses always get done first, so it's 2x2=4. Then multiplication is next highest priority so 5x4=20. Finally division 20/20=1.

Common Core is such shit. Mathematics is absolute. 16 is simply an incorrect answer. Two different answers cannot be equally correct. That's not how math works.

I look at it as 20 divided by 5 x 4 so its 1. Any mathematicians here can confirm?

mentalidade_logica · 2017-06-21T02:19:50+00:00

Leave it up to the feminist controlled education system to bring chaos to something as pure and true as math.

They are even contesting Newton's Laws, because, you guess it - "it's oppressive".

mentalidade_logica · 2017-06-20T21:01:57+00:00

Step 1 Parenthesis

Step 2 Multiplication.

Step 3 Division.

Step 4 Addition.

Step 4 Subtraction.

Thus 20 / (5x4) = 20 / 20. Answer is 1.

So much debate over a problem in a subject that there should be no debate at all.

sellthishistory · 2017-06-21T02:06:58+00:00

PEMDA = Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition

20/5(2*2)

20/5*4

20/20

= 1

You don't fuck with math. Math will straight up kill you.

2017-06-20T23:43:49+00:00

Or there can be a purge to reduce math. Idk.

they're teaching the children improper math and they're leaving high school with less than a 1st grade education.

no wonder i always hated pussy taught classes in school. school got much better once i entered technical college and almost all teachers were male.

eightgaydiamonds · 2017-06-22T05:02:06+00:00

POSTMODERN MATH. I thought they would never pull it off.

Fraccles · 2017-06-21T13:30:50+00:00

I read this as 20/5 x (2x2) but I see it with the 5 under the 20 (I don't know how to format that in Reddit) so as a fraction the whole problem can be written as (20x(2x2))/5 = 80/5 = 16.

Really this just shows us the weakness of the word processing software. Fractions should be an easily accessible function (or we need more people to use brackets for clarity more) so this ambiguity doesn't happen.

TigPlaze · 2017-06-21T14:58:36+00:00

WTF? 16 is correct. The other answer is wrong.

the answer should be 1

2017-06-20T20:30:12+00:00

Oder of operations. This is bullshit. Both are not right.

reptilianoverlord94 · 2017-06-20T20:44:38+00:00

From what I learnt in school multiplication comes before division. I bet some of the older guys were taught differently.

HumanBeingOfEarth · 2017-06-20T21:22:56+00:00

Parenthesis 2x2 is 4 times 5 is 20, 20/20 is 1

It could only be 16 if 20/5 was also in parenthesis

itzhyde · 2017-06-20T22:00:27+00:00

I got taught BIDMAS for order @ school, Brackets, Indicies, Division, Multi, add, sub. I have no idea what the theory is behind any of it though because we didn't go into any of that detail.

Mini_Bot · 2017-06-20T22:02:56+00:00

I haven't even seen anyone write math like this in college. You just put everything in a fraction so that it's either (20 x 2 x 2)/5 or 20/(5 x 2 x 2). The picture is just a confusing way to write it because you can't tell if the (2 x 2) is in the numerator or denominator.

2017-06-20T23:15:52+00:00

...it's 20 divided by 20.

mgtow_math · 2017-06-20T23:21:10+00:00

Jesus fucking christ what a mess. My only hope is that this is a lesson on ambiguities in (poor) mathematical notation... which would probably be over the little fellers' heads anyway.

2017-06-21T00:35:35+00:00

The division is last. The entire problem is based on division, so it's the final step. You solve both sides first, parenthesis has top priority. The correct answer is 1. How is this even a discussion?

Patingham · 2017-06-21T03:10:01+00:00

PEMDAS is the order of operations. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Where in the ever living fuck is everyone learning multiplication and division have the same priority? The answer is 1 and common core is meant to bring the commoners to the core of stupidity.

2017-06-21T03:22:08+00:00

ohh fucking fuck ppl. does common core not even teach PEMDAS anymore??

awalt_mgtow · 2017-06-21T11:15:26+00:00

The order of operations here isn't the issue. What we are arguing about here is what is the question: (20/5) * (2 * 2) or 20/(5 * 2 * 2). The formatting convention used for the question above is 20/(5 * 2 * 2) which means the answer is 1. The parenthesis are actually redundant: 5(2 * 2) == 5 * 2 * 2 so why use the parenthesis? I agree with others in this thread that this is poorly formed. If the question was written as 20/5 * 2 * 2 I don't think that anyone would have considered that the answer could be 16. In either case, the maths isn't ambiguous and there is only one answer to each question - the question is what is the question?

Also, there is no difference in terms of priority in the use of division or multiplication. 5 * 4 / 6 is always 20/6 no matter what you do first. Remember that you can always re-write this as 5/1 * 4/1 * 1/6. Just my 2 cents worth.

getMansplained · 2017-06-28T02:13:09+00:00

I love how these common core teachers love to act like they're above "the old way," as if the old way is bad. As a computer engineer, I would love to ask these people to attempt to get around "the old way" with binary logic. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

StealthMister · 2017-06-20T20:10:37+00:00

It is because it is formatted poorly: (20)(5(2×2))

=(20)(5(4))

=(20)(20)

=1

(20)(5)(2×2)

=(20)(5)(4)

=(4)×(4)

=16

aidenSkates · 2017-06-21T00:27:26+00:00

The only way that 16 would be the answer is if it looked like this

(20/5) (2 * 2)

But the current format is 20 / 5 (2 * 2), meaning what's inside parenthesis comes first then it would be multiplied by 5 then divided by 20.

Why is she saying both are correct? How did she earn her degree? Can someone please elaborate?
