8. Constructed Response - 4 pts.
(WK 2)
50 ÷ – 3
Part A: Solve the problem above. Use what you know about order of operations to explain how you found your answer.
1 pt. - The answer is 30.
1pt. - I found the answer by dividing first, because in the order of operations, division comes before addition or subtraction. After that I added then subtracted, because order of operations says that you solve from left to right when the operations are equally important.
Part B: Explain, using what you know about order of operations, how the problem above can be changed to get an answer of 2. Hint: You will need to add parenthesis.
1 pt. - Put parenthesis around
1 pt. - You need parenthesis because those must be solved first according to the order of operations. With the parenthesis, you have to add before you divide, which changes the problem.
