Calculating 0.5 x 100 x 15 Squared
This problem involves order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS or BODMAS. Let's break down the calculation step by step:
1. Exponents: First, we need to calculate 15 squared, which means 15 multiplied by itself: 15² = 15 * 15 = 225
2. Multiplication: Now we have the expression: 0.5 x 100 x 225 Multiplying from left to right:
- 0.5 x 100 = 50
- 50 x 225 = 11,250
Therefore, 0.5 x 100 x 15 squared equals 11,250.
