Make 2 + 6 divided by 2 + 4 x 3 equal 16 Using parentheses

To make 2 + 6 divided by 2 + 4 x 3 equal 16 using parentheses, you can rearrange the expression to ensure the correct order of operations.

The expression can be written as (2 + (6 ÷ 2)) + (4 x 3).

Calculating within the parentheses first:

(2 + (6 ÷ 2)) + (4 x 3)
= (2 + 3) + (12)
= 5 + 12
= 17

Therefore, it is not possible to make 2 + 6 divided by 2 + 4 x 3 equal 16 using parentheses.
