Copy and place parentheses to make each statement true.
6 + 6 / 6 * 6 +6 = 24
6*6+6*6-6=24 Where would the parenthesis go?
14+2=6+2x3+2
(6+6
To make the statement true, we need to use parentheses to specify the order of operations. The standard order of operations is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).
Let's analyze the statement without parentheses:
6 + 6 / 6 * 6 + 6
According to the order of operations, we should perform the division first:
6 + (6 / 6) * 6 + 6
Next, we perform the multiplication:
6 + (1) * 6 + 6
Afterward, we perform the addition:
6 + 1 * 6 + 6
Finally, we perform the remaining multiplication and addition:
6 + 6 + 6
This simplifies to:
18
To make the statement equal to 24, we need to modify the placement of parentheses. One possible solution is:
(6 + 6 / 6) * (6 + 6)
Now, let's evaluate the expression with the modified parentheses:
(6 + 6 / 6) * (6 + 6) = (6 + 1) * (6 + 6) = 7 * 12 = 84
As you can see, the statement is not true when parentheses are placed to make it equal to 24.
