Question

How do you evaluate `12.5+4×(11.2-2)`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Using the standard order of operation or PEDMAS, first, execute the subtraction operation within the Parenthesis:

`12.5 + 4 xx (color(red)(11.2) - color(red)(2)) => 12.5 + 4 xx 9.2`

Next, execute the Multiplication operation:

`12.5 + color(red)(4) xx color(red)(9.2) => 12.5 + 36.8`

Now, execute the Addition operation:

`color(red)(12.5) + color(red)(36.8) => 49.3`
