Evaluate a+b/6 for a =33 and b=15
33+15/6
48/6
8<-----is my answer is that correct?
Yes, your answer is probably correct. It would have been clearer if the problem had parentheses: (a + b) / 6
However, if only b is divided by 6, then you'd get a different answer.
To evaluate the expression a + b/6 for a = 33 and b = 15, you need to follow the order of operations, which is commonly referred to as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
In this case, you would start by substituting the values of a and b into the expression:
33 + 15/6
Next, you perform any division within the expression:
33 + 15/6 = 33 + 2.5
Finally, you perform the addition:
33 + 2.5 = 35.5
So, the correct answer is 35.5, not 8.
