Make 2 + 6 divided by 2 + 4 x 3 equal 16

Answer 1

To make 2 + 6 ÷ 2 + 4 x 3 equal 16, you need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, perform the multiplication: 4 x 3 = 12.

Next, perform the division: 6 ÷ 2 = 3.

The expression becomes: 2 + 3 + 12.

Next, add 2 and 3: 2 + 3 = 5.

Finally, add 5 and 12: 5 + 12 = 17.

Therefore, it is not possible to make 2 + 6 ÷ 2 + 4 x 3 equal to 16 using the given expression.
