i cant figure this out
16 / (10-(9-8) x 6)
i got
9-8 = 1 x6 = 6
10 -6 = 4
16 /4 = 4
is that right?
16/(10-(9-8)x6)
16/(10-1x6)
16/(10-6)
16/4
4
Looks good to me
yup that's right!!!
To solve the expression 16 / (10 - (9 - 8) x 6), you need to follow the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with the innermost parentheses: (9 - 8) = 1.
The expression becomes: 16 / (10 - 1 x 6).
2. Then, perform the multiplication: 1 x 6 = 6.
The expression becomes: 16 / (10 - 6).
3. Next, simplify the subtraction inside the parentheses: 10 - 6 = 4.
The expression becomes: 16 / 4.
4. Finally, perform the division: 16 / 4 = 4.
So, your solution is correct. The expression evaluates to 4.
