Question

How do you simplify `[4 times (5+6)] ÷ (4² - 12)^3` using PEMDAS?

Answer 1

Answer`=11/16`

Explanation:

`[4*(5+6)] div (4^2-12)^3`

Work on the inside of PARENTHESIS first ....that means the innermost PARENTHESIS. So we start with 5+6 then multiply by 4, and on the other one `4^2` first before subtracting 12

`[4*11] div (16-12)^3`

At this point EXPONENTIAL first before DIVISION
`44 div 4^3`

`44 div 64`

`44/64`

`11/16`

God bless...I hope the explanation is useful..
