Parentheses

PARENT

PARENTHESES ( )

—---- 1 PARENTHESIS  (

—---- 2 PARENTHESES  ( )

The PARENTS give the same treatment to (every child INSIDE their family).

2 (T + M + k + h) =

2 T + 2 M + 2 k + 2 h

2 trillion + 2 million + 2 thousand + 2 hundred

2,000,002,002,200.

The number outside the parentheses indicates how many to give to each child inside the family.

The number can be a fraction.

Half = .5 (T + M + k + h) =

.5 T + .5 M + .5 k + .5 h

.5 trillion + .5 million + .5 thousand + .5 hundred

0,500,000,500,550.
