True! You can argue, but does that make it right? I get that quite often with my students, and if they are correct, I will change it. If not, they may have to do some reading.That's what is great about this forum, anyone can argue about anything!

Like I said, they should be recycled to the 5th grade.You may be surprised how many high school graduates that would stump.
True but there lies the issue. Inside the paranthesis is first. Once inside the parenthesis is solved, the parenthesis themselves become a standard multiplication problem and left to right applies.Also I would like to add, left to right doesn't really apply to math as much as the order of the problems are solved, meaning: Parentheses first, multiplication or division (whichever is from left to right first) is equated next and addition or subtraction (whichever is from left to right first) is equated last.
Yes. For example: 1+5X10(1+3)= 1+5X10X4= 1+50X4= 1+200= 201True but there lies the issue. Inside the paranthesis is first. Once inside the parenthesis is solved, the parenthesis themselves become a standard multiplication problem and left to right applies.
In an alternate reality maybe.For me, the answer in the OP is one, not nine.
The answer is obviously .45>9.

Anyone that needs a calculator to solve that problem needs to go back to the 5th grade.
Is that when you gave up on it?You just wait. I had to do summer school after 5th grade.
