4*5+8, How do you do this? The star means times multiply?
Right. * means multiply.
However, your expression is confusing because it doesn't have parentheses.
(4 * 5) + 8 = 20 * 8 = 160
4 * (5 + 8) = 4 * 13 = 52
thanks so much. my next question is 1/6h =9 h=?
would it be h= 3
so, what's the right problem??????????
If there's no parenthesis, you do it from left to right, and your answer would be 28. (4x5)+8=20+8=28
Yes, in mathematics, the asterisk (*) symbol represents multiplication. To solve the expression 4 * 5 + 8, you should follow the order of operations. The order of operations is an agreed-upon set of rules used to solve mathematical expressions consistently. It is often remembered using the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
Let's apply the order of operations to our expression step by step:
1. Start with the multiplication: 4 * 5 = 20.
So now our expression becomes 20 + 8.
2. Proceed to the addition: 20 + 8 = 28.
Therefore, the result of 4 * 5 + 8 is 28.
