Use PEMDAS to simplify: 72÷12+26−8⋅3. (1 point)

Question

A - 10
B 8
C 56
D 72

Answer 1

Using PEMDAS, we start by multiplying 8 and 3:

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 8 * 3

= 72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 24

Next, we divide 72 by 12:

= 6 + 26 - 24

Next, we add 6 and 26:

= 32 - 24

Finally, we subtract 24 from 32:

= 8

Therefore, the answer is B) 8.
