Why are Danish people so cucked?

Curriculum is designed so that niggers and Mexicans don't fail

Liberals and progressives are bad at math
Intentionally!
They're dumbing down the populace to make them serf's!

Is this real?

Coming from the country who is going to vote a criminal into the highest office, stay classy America.

this is obviously some anti-common core propaganda because this isn't what common core is.

and btw 16 would be the correct answer.

my eyes bleed seeing that notation

Because parents won't hit their kids and they'll have a ton of technology to dick around with vs doing class work

D-do they just not care about the order of operations anymore? The answer is 1.

this is the result of years and years of letting women do a man's job.

btw, usa good luck with your new president. we can tell by experience what awaits you.

>math is for nerds, user

"MORE TIME IN SCHOOLS, BUT THEY WOULDN'T LEARN ANYTHING

As regards education, he indicated that kids would spend more time in schools, but in many schools they wouldn't learn anything. They'll learn some things, but not as much as formerly. Better schools in better areas with better people, their kids will learn more. In the better schools Iearning would be accelerated. This is another time where he said, "We think we can push evolution." By pushing kids to learn more he seemed to be suggesting that their brains would evolve, that their offspring would evolve; sort of pushing evolution where kids would learn and be more intelligent at a younger age. As if this pushing would alter their physiology. Overall, schooling would be prolonged. This meant prolonged through the school year. I'm not sure what he said about a long school day, I do remember he said that school was planned to go all summer, that the summer school vacation would become a thing of the past. Not only for schools, but for other reasons. People would begin to think of vacation times year round, not just in the summer. For most people it would take longer to complete their education. To get what originally had been in a bachelor's program would now require advanced degrees and more schooling. So that a lot of school time would be just wasted time. Good schools would become more competitive. I inferred when he said that, that he was including all schools - elementary up through college - but I don't recall if he actually said that. Students would have to decide at a younger age what they would want to study and get onto their track early. It would be harder to change to another field of study once you get started. Studies would be concentrated in much greater depth, but narrowed. "

You wouldn't have access to material in other fields, outside your own area of study, without approval. This seem to be more where he talked about limited access to other fields. I seem to recall this as being more at the college level perhaps. People would be very specialised in their own area of expertise. But they won't be able to get a broad education and won't be able to understand what is going on overall.

hol up, isn't 16 the right answer? i understand how you would get 1 out of this problem, but you have to disregard order of operations

Am I retarded? When would this have ever been equal to 1?
PEMDAS
20/5(2*2)
20/5(4)
4(4)
16
What am I missing here? Are they being retarded and multiplying 5 by 4 first?

Common core way is right, though?
Brackets
Exponents
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
2 * 2 = 4, 20 / 5 = 4, 4 * 4 = 16

>Both answers are correct!

Not if you follow the fucking order of operations. The most basic concept and structure of math. What the fuck is this OP? I'm triggered

Read this. It's free.

deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf

order of operations is different depending on where in the world you are.

You just write it differently in diff parts of the world


I love these threads.

Given the way it's written and the lack of parentesis around 5(2*2) you can't imply that it is 20 over the sum. 16 is the only correct answer.

That's actually correct, now if you'd replace that solidus with an obelus.

It's fake.

Because the globalist elite in the federal government have their hand down the throat of public education and are sabotaging America.

The answer is 16, you fucks. You do whatever is in the parentheses first, then you work left to right -- like reading a sentence, because math is a language.

The answer is 16. Multiplication and division are done left to right at the same time. Multiplication is not done before division. They are the same thing; any division can be expressed as multiplication and vice-versa.

ITT we shart on sharters

20/5(2*2)
20/5(4) distribute the 5
20/20 = 1

At least we don't obey sand niggers (Yet)

Maybe on primary school level. Cooperation between scientists all over the world would be impossible if there were no common rules regarding this kind of stuff.

Cockroach detected!!!


KEBAB REMOVAL TEAM NOTIFIED.

20 / 5(2*2)
20 / 5 x 4
4 x 4
16

For any common core users.

huh?

We were taught BIMDAS in Australia.

Brackets
Indices
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

kill yourself
parenthesis first
which means you also have to to 5(4) before the /

Punktrechnung geht vor Strichrechnung.

this can't be real.

the answer is one and only one. in what way could you get 16

The answer is 16 if proper order of operations is followed. It would be 1 if the problem read "20 / (5 (2 * 2))", but it doesn't say that.

It's the same thing. Indices are exponents. Multiplication/division are exchangeable. Same with addition/subtraction

PEMDAS
Parenthesis exponenets multiplication and division (in the order they appear left to right) addition and subtraction (in the order they appear left to right. Distribution is multiplication but you've skipped the 20/5 to do 5*4. This is wrong.

...

But you don't. 5 isn't part of the brackets.
So its 20/5(4)
4(4)
= 16

The answer to this is always 16. The only thing that's retarded is the person that put together the slide or image. The mathematical notation is clear. 20 / 5 ( 2 * 2 ) parsed left to right comes out to 20 / 5 = 4, so 4 * (2 * 2). (2 * 2) = 4, so 4 * 4 = 16. If you insist on parsing whatever is in parentheses first, it's 20 / 5 * 4 = 4 * 4 = 16. You would never parse what's after the division sign first unless there is a set of parentheses enclosing them. To get 1 as the answer, the statement would have to be written as 20 / (5 * 2 * 2) = 1 or 20 / (5 * (2 * 2)) = 1. This is nonsense.

ur both fucking idiots
especially you

god damn, not this shit again.
sage

also:
(20/5)*(2*2) = 16
OR
20/(5*2*2) = 1

fucking brackets man... use them if you won't use mathematically correct form.

see

Maths is a patriarchal construct
Everyone is an excellent mathematician in their own unique way

I don't even know how anyone could get 1

Except the common core answer has always been the correct answer, anyone who thinks its the left one is a fucking retard who doesnt know order of operations
Even still, this image is fake.

Common core is still universally retarded

This is basic order of operations
Brackets indices division multiplication addition subtraction.
I don't know why you multiplied the five by the four before dividing it by the 20.

>fake 9gag picture
why are danishes this dense

If both have the same priority just go from left to right like wtf are you retarded

Hillary obeys her donors, Saudi Arabia
yeah you do

back in my day... any answer other than 1 would have you spending your summer vacation in school for remedial classes.

Just wait 20 years. These Common Core kids are going on to become engineers and technicians and THEN the real fuck ups in primary education will show.

It's 16 my man.

20/5 (2*2)
20/5 (4)
20 / 5 * 4
4 * 4
16

You only distribute if it was something like 20+5(2*2) because dat der order of operations

20 + 5 (2*2)
20 + 5 (4)
20 + 5 * 4
20 + 20
40

bcuz it still has brackets u mong go back to KINDERGARTEN multipication

Why are people so angry about debating a convention? Answer is 16 btw.

>solve the brackets
>it still has brackets
underage please leave

Multiply the parenthasees, get 5x4 = 20, 20/20 is 1

I got 16, I don't get how people get 1

This, its ambiguous. It could be either.

t. toothpaste

tell me when u get a 120k job like i have fixing air planes retard

Because you're a privileged shitlord

If you're a dumbass that failed GCSE Maths. You go from left to right if the order of operations is equal. 20 / 5 * 4. Maybe if it was 20 / (5*4), but the only parentheses are around 2*2.

It really looks like that's the case. Something stinks. I find it very hard to believe this isn't conspiratorial to one degree or another... I can't reconcile that common exists with the fact that it was actually dreamed up and implemented ON FUCKING PURPOSE.

It's not a valid equation, there are either parenthesis missing or you have to get rid of the ones which are there.

There's nothing inside the brackets, you fucking moron.
20 / 5 (4) is the same as 20 / 5 x 4 and order of operations says you do multiplication/division left to right after you solve what's inside the brackets and perform any operations with exponents.

operations involving brackets are to be done first, mongrel

and why are they so bad at setting up projectors?

>and btw 16 would be the correct answer.

do you live in texas

No they don't, the division is done first.even before you incorrectly multiply 5 by 4

>what jews say

>20 / 5 * 4
>4 * 4
>16
you don't multiply before divide? no wonder America is failing.

if ur moms vaginas name is texas then yes i live in texas with my penis

I always sucked at math, but I hadn't any problem to resolve that equation, because, you know, I may suck at math, but that is a fifth grade excercise.
Why all you scientists had an entire thread about it?

>I got 16, I don't get how people get 1
consider who your teachers are.. they don't want you to understand why the answer is 1

lmao

>you don't multiply before divide? no wonder America is failing.
BIDMAS
PEDMAS
Whichever you use, division always comes first

yes they are, because that can be considered as a coefficient of the bracket

you're a retard multiplication and division are same priority you do multiplication vs division left to right

Holy fucking shit you guys are retarded.
20 / 5 (2 * 2)
20 / 5 * (2 * 2)
20 / 5 * 4
4 * 4
16

This motherfucker gets it.

They changed the order. Nowadays brackets is first.

no

the answer is 1 and only 1

common core is degenerate

even texas refused common core

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

NO THEY ARE NOT BOTH CORRECT LEARN ORDER OF OPERATIONS YOU FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT

only a dumbass trys doing math in language form and not equation form

how do you get one

What are they calling "the old way" the common core answer is just follow the pemdas order of operations.

But you still are multiplying the 5 by the four incorrectly, regardless whether it is considered a coefficient or not
If there was no division in the equation, then you'd probably be right

this

If you write the equation with one term above the other and a line.

I know, I meant between division/multiplication division is done first

The way I've been taught, this is true. If multiplication comes directly after division or vice versa PEMDAS is to be ignored and the sum is to be done right to left.

Division and mulitiplication are the same tier lol.

Multiplication and division are the same thing if you knew math. /2 is the same as *0.5.
