Question

How do you evaluate `8+ ( 8\times 2\div 8)`?

Answer 1

`10`

Explanation:

When evaluating expressions with `color(blue)"mixed operations"` there is a particular order that must be followed.

Follow the order as set out in the acronym PEMDAS (Parenthesis (brackets), Exponents (powers), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction )

Multiplication and division are of equal precedence and if they appear in the calculation then we evaluate them from left to right.

The calculation inside the bracket is an example of this.

`rArr(8xx2÷8)=(16÷8)=2`

`rArr8+(8xx2÷8)=8+2=10`
