This post left anonymously im really confused with this remedial
math problem. operations on fractions here is one example of the
problems i am doing: 11/15 (plus) 7/9 (divided by) (14/3) (2/3)
my first instinct is to do pemdas (parenthesis exponents
multiplication division addition and subtraction) and to
multiply the two fractions in the parenthesis. but my instructor
said i should divide first instead of following pemdas but he
never gave an explanation. i am really confused was he right or
was i? Since writing this post Anonymous may have helped people,
