B. 1.6 + 3 × 4 - 2 ÷ 2 simplifies to 1.6 + 12 - 1 which equals 12.6, which is equal to 4.6.
1.6 does not = 4.6
I apologize for my mistake. None of the options given are equal to 4.6.
use pemdas
None of the options given evaluates to 4.6 using PEMDAS (the order of operations). Here is how each option simplifies:
A. 1.6 + (3 × 4) - 2 ÷ 2 = 1.6 + 12 - 1 = 12.6
B. 1.6 + 3 × 4 - 2 ÷ 2 = 1.6 + 12 - 1 = 12.6
C. [1.6 + (3 × 4)] - (2 ÷ 2) = [1.6 + 12] - 1 = 12.6
D. (1.6 + 3) × (4 - 2) ÷ 2 = 4.6 ÷ 2 = 2.3
Therefore, none of the options is equal to 4.6.
