Which is the correct answer to the following:
Simplfy: 2 + 3 . 10 Devided by 5 . 3 - 9
A)"5
B) 21
C)"60
D) 11
You need to include parentheses to make the needed operations clear. Do you mean:
(2+3.10)/(5.3-9) or
2 + 3.10/5.3 - 9?
However, either of these will end with a negative number.
To simplify the expression: 2 + 3 × 10 ÷ 5 × 3 - 9, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS).
The order of operations is as follows:
1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Let's break down the expression step by step:
1. Start with multiplication and division:
3 × 10 = 30
30 ÷ 5 = 6
The expression becomes: 2 + 6 × 3 - 9
2. Now, solve additions and subtractions:
2 + 6 = 8
8 × 3 = 24
24 - 9 = 15
The final value is 15.
Therefore, none of the provided answer choices A) 5, B) 21, C) 60, or D) 11 is correct. The correct answer is missing from the given options. The correct answer for the given expression is 15.
