Hello!
Use the Order of Operations to solve. PEMDAS:
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
EQUATION #1:
45 ÷ 2 = 22.5
16 × 22.5 = 360
ANSWER:
360
EQUATION #2:
12 × 4 = 48
23 ÷ 2 = 11.5
13 ÷ 4 = 3.25
Since there's no more division, we'll move onto addition.
48 + 11.5 + 3.25 = 62.75
ANSWER:
62.75
