The problem is presented like so:
1) 8+20/10-3
= 28/7
But what if I had rewrote the problem as:
2) 8+20 ÷ 10-3 ?
8+2-3 = 7
Order of operation would divide 20 by 10 and then continue solving left to right.
What am I missing here? The first problem was presented and solved in a textbook.
With this type of problem, does it come down to how the problem is presented?
