Hudson said: 1 That's what I got too. Once you multiply anything by 0, the answer is 0. So whatever comes before that part of the sum is irrelevant. What you're left with is 0 + 1. So the answer is 1. | |

1 X 2 + 3 x 4 + 5 x 0 + 1 = ??? .
(1 X 2) + (3 x 4) + (5 x 0) + 1 = (2 + 12) + (0) + (1) (14) + (1) | |

In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations (or operator precedence) is a collection of rules that define which procedures to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression. For example, in mathematics and most computer languages, multiplication precedes addition.[1] Thus, in the expression 2 + 3 × 4, the answer is 14 (not 20). | |

It depends on whether you mean the earth's surface, or the entire planet, down to the core. And the human body is made up of mostly water too, right? So do we have to account for the earths population too or am I overthinking the question? | |

good thinking it seems to mean the tottal mass! But I am glad you saw that... i think most would assume surface area and say 70% and are thus not close! it is really less that 1%... "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |
