Question

Evaluate the expression 8÷2+54÷9×2×2

Answer 1

We are asked to evaluate the mathematical expression below;

`8/2+54/9*2*2`

To do this we would use "PEMDAS". PEMDAS is an acronym for the words parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

Given two or more operations in a single expression, the order of the letters in PEMDAS tells you what to calculate first, second, third, and so on, until the calculation is complete.

We will then proceed to solve the expression according to PEMDAS.

`\begin{gathered} 8/2+54/9*2*2 \\ =(8)/(2)+(54)/(9)*2*2 \\ =4+6*4 \\ =4+24 \\ =28 \\ \end{gathered}`

Answer: 28
