Evaluate the expression at pacific values of their variables. Evaluate 24 / a+b , when a=6 and b=12

1 answer

To evaluate the expression 24 / (a+b) when a = 6 and b = 12, simply substitute these values into the expression:

24 / (6 + 12)

Now, follow the order of operations (BODMAS) to simplify:

24 / 18

Perform the division:

1.3333333333333333 (rounded to 14 decimal places)

Therefore, when a = 6 and b = 12, the expression 24 / (a+b) evaluates to approximately 1.3333333333333333.
