Question

What's 5 + (7 x 8) divided by 3

Answer 1

23.67 or
`(71)/(3)`

Explanation:

You would follow the steps of PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

So the first thing we will do is the problem inside the parentheses.

5 + (7 x 8) ÷ 3

5 + 56 ÷ 3

Then we will do the one next in line which is division.

5 + 56 ÷ 3

5 + 18.6666...

Finally we should do the addition.

23.6666...

Now since we have a repeating decimal we should round or turn it into a fraction.

23.67 or
`(71)/(3)`
