Question

How do you evaluate `(24- 11) - ( 3+ 2) \div 4`?

Answer 1

`11.75 or 47/4`

Explanation:

You have to remember the PEMDAS or BODOMAS rule.
Which basically means, solve the brackets from inside out, then do multiplication/division followed by addition/subtraction.

The expression you have is;
`(24-11)-(3+2)÷4`

Solving the brackets:
`=(13)-(5)÷4`

Now we have subtraction and division, according to PEMDAS, we have to do division first.

So, we divide `5` by `4` first by long division, you'll get `1.25`.
`=13-1.25`
`=11.75`

Or you can solve by finding the common denominator if you want the answer in fraction first.

`=13-5/4`
`=(52-5)/4`
`=47/4`
`=11.75`
