hmmm... at second look, I thought maybe you could write the problem out as:

100
______

5squared(70+50)


Which would give you:

100
_____

3000, or 1/3, as someone above suggested. But on second look, you can't: the 5squared x (70+50) is not in parentheses, so you can't separate it. Does that help?

---

1/30 - but yeah. I totally forgot the Left-to-right thing when you get to mult/divide

---

I decided that post was too annoying and deleted it, but before I did you quoted me and prolonged my annoyingness. Thanks. And now I've quoted you quoting me, and prolonged it further. Awesome.

I heart you dava
