Order of Operations with Fractions
Whenever you have a fraction bar you must assume that what ever is
on top is group together and what ever is on the bottom is group
together. In the example problem, even doe there are no parentheses
there, you must treat it like there are parentheses around the 5, and
13. Then use the order of operations and add the numbers that are in
parentheses first. Example steps below

Example 2:
Remember you must assume that there are parentheses around the
numerator ( 10-4) and the denominator ( 7+2). Then use the order
of operations and add the numbers that are in parentheses first.
