I know of someone who does not understand the PEMDAS method of solving math equations. What is the best way to explain this to her.
user
You could probably explain it to her by using an example:

"Here’s an example, let’s say you wanted to multiply 15 × 8. How would you do that?"
assistant
Ok. and?
user
"Well, first you would multiply the 15 and 8.  Now 15 × 8 is 120."
assistant
O.K. Could you please do one that include exponents? Here is an example: 15 x 8 (6x2) + 4
user
Sure, let’s do it step-by-step:

"You want to do 6 × 2, and then add 4."
assistant
Ok. That is 16. What is next?
user
"Now, let’s take the 15 x 8, you multiply that by 16."
