How would you work the problem:

2 with the exponent of 4 minus 3 times 5 divided by 10 plus 16-15 divided by 10?

I would start out by rewriting it with parentheses in the approproate places.
2^4 - 3*5/10 + 16 - 15/10
The way you wrote it with no parentheses:
first the exponent:
16 - 3*5/10 + 16 - 15/10
now multiply and divide
16 - 1.5 + 16 - 1.5
now add and subtract
29
square root of 2a multipplied by the square root of 2a
