be sure to check it on with a calculator. I.e. copy-paste these formulas into http://instacalc.com/ :
1) -25/27*54
2) (-25/27)*54
Let me know if you'll get a different result with one of the formulas above, professor 
Hint: Both -25/27*54 and (-25/27)*54 ARE ABSOLUTELY EQUAL and they both = -50 
Furthermore, -25/27 * 0.6 + 8/9 is EQUAL to (-25/27) * 0.6 + 8/9 and it is 1/3 . Surprised? |
Your syntax is still wrong:
-25/27x is the same as:
-25
----
27x
which you would to type into instacalc as the following:
-25/(27*54)
and what you would get is not -50
