Which expression has a value of 8?
CLEAR CHECK
8 × (5 – 4)
(8 × 5) – 4
(8 × 5 – 4)
8 × 5 – 4
8 × (5 – 4)
To find which expression has a value of 8, let's evaluate each expression step by step:
1. 8 × (5 – 4): First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: 5 – 4 = 1. Then, multiply 1 by 8: 8 × 1 = 8.
2. (8 × 5) – 4: First, perform the multiplication: 8 × 5 = 40. Then, subtract 4 from 40: 40 – 4 = 36.
3. (8 × 5 – 4): First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: 8 × 5 – 4 = 40 – 4 = 36.
4. 8 × 5 – 4: First, perform the multiplication: 8 × 5 = 40. Then, subtract 4 from 40: 40 – 4 = 36.
So, only the expression 8 × (5 – 4) has a value of 8.
