Consider yourself lucky, mine only has one. Would kill for a second

What the fuck is a 9-2÷1/4+1 rack?
>>4000567
*6
>>40005599
5 squat racks is pretty ok. My gym has only one, but it's pretty much always free
>>40005673
The gym has 9-(2/1/4)+1 racks
>=9-((2•4)+2) racks
>=9-10 racks
>=-1 racks
>>40005599
Order of operations is 9 minus (2 divided by 1/4) plus one
9 - 8 + 1
1 + 1
2
Come on people
>>40005599
Under the rule of BODMAS, that would mean
8.125 racks
>>40005706
1/4 makes 0.25
2/0.25 makes 8
9-8+1 makes 2
>>40005705
Wtf are you doing with your life?
>>40005706
but it could also be written as (2/1/4)
so 9-1/2+1
gym has fractional number of squat racks?
USE MORE () OP FUCK
>>40005599
Just came here to say that people are going to read this as either
2 / (1 / 4) = 2 * 4
(2 / 1) / 4 = 1 / 2
The "/" operator serves as both a division operator and a grouping symbol, leading to the confusion. Without additional () the expression as written is ambiguous.

Fuck, we were all wrong
>>40005830
You're right it's not proper notation and OP is a faggot, but we can infer from the use of a division sign proper vs the use of a slash that the 1/4 is intended to be interepreted as a fraction, which comes as a distinct unit in the order of operations.
>>40005705
2÷1/4=2*4=8
1/4 = 0.25 people fail to notice this, although its just a notation error.
2/0.25 =8
9-8 =1
1+1 = 2

Good to see the meathead stereotype is alive and well.
>>40005706
9 - 8 + 1 = 0 not 2

jesus you guys are retarded
you don't just do a sum left to right
>>40006842
Lol
>>40006842
Addition and subtraction, like multiplication and division, occur left to right relative to each other. Subtraction is the addition of negative integers. Same action. Division is multiplication by fractions - same action.
It's more like BE(DM)(AS)
