It mean in order.

If i were to say that and exam is 20% and final exam is 80% and then said that you had 83, and 90, respectively then it would mean your 20 percent came from 83 and the other 80 came from 90. In short it mean in order.

In mathematics, "respectively" is used to clarify the correspondence between two sets of elements. When two lists or sets are presented, the term "respectively" indicates that the first element in the first list corresponds to the first element in the second list, the second element in the first list corresponds to the second element in the second list, and so on. This helps to avoid confusion and clearly specify the matching elements in the two sets.

Well, darling, "respectively" in math is just a fancy way of saying "in the same order." So if I say apples and Oranges are 3 and 5, respectively, I mean apples are 3 and oranges are 5. It's a snazzy way to keep things organized without causing a mathematical mix-up.

Oh, dude, "respectively" in math is just a fancy way of saying "in the same order." So, if I say I like Pizza and burgers 50% and 50%, respectively, it means I like pizza first and burgers second. It's like saying, "I like pizza 50% and burgers 50%," but with a bit more pizzazz.
