As you simplify each expression below, which one requires finding the quotient of 80 divided by 2
A.4+6x8/2
B.2x5x8/2
C.(2+5)x8/2
D.4+(6x8)/2
B?
You are correct.
To find the expression that requires finding the quotient of 80 divided by 2, let's simplify each expression step-by-step and see which one involves this calculation.
A. 4 + 6 × 8 ÷ 2
First, we perform the multiplication: 6 × 8 = 48
Then, we perform the division: 48 ÷ 2 = 24
Finally, we add 4: 4 + 24 = 28
B. 2 × 5 × 8 ÷ 2
First, we perform the first multiplication: 2 × 5 = 10
Then, we perform the second multiplication: 10 × 8 = 80
Finally, we perform the division: 80 ÷ 2 = 40
C. (2 + 5) × 8 ÷ 2
First, we perform the addition within the parentheses: 2 + 5 = 7
Then, we perform the multiplication: 7 × 8 = 56
Finally, we perform the division: 56 ÷ 2 = 28
D. 4 + (6 × 8) ÷ 2
First, we perform the multiplication within the parentheses: 6 × 8 = 48
Then, we perform the division: 48 ÷ 2 = 24
Finally, we add 4: 4 + 24 = 28
Therefore, the expression that requires finding the quotient of 80 divided by 2 is B. 2 × 5 × 8 ÷ 2, which simplifies to 40.
