See a solution process below:

Using the PEDMAS order of operation, first execute the Division and Multiplication operations:

$48 \div 6 + 2 \cdot 5 \Rightarrow 8 + 10$ $color(red)(48) -: color(red)(6) + color(blue)(2) * color(blue)(5) => 8 + 10$

Now execute the Addition operation:

$8 + 10 = 18$ $8 + 10 = 18$

10.5

Use BODMAS to break up the question:

$(\frac{48}{6}) + 2.5$ $(48/6) + 2.5$

First, divide 48 by 6:

$(8) + 2.5$ $(8) + 2.5$

Then add the 2.5:

$8 + 2.5 = 10.5$ $8 + 2.5 = 10.5$
