Question

(9 x 2) / (2 + 1) results in 6.(1 point)

Answer 1

Good job, now please answer this question: 8 - 1 - (18 - 2) / 8 results in 2.(1 point), possible answers true or false.

Answer 2

Let's break down the expression step by step:

1. Calculate \(9 \times 2\):
\[
9 \times 2 = 18
\]

2. Calculate \(2 + 1\):
\[
2 + 1 = 3
\]

3. Now divide the results from step 1 by the result from step 2:
\[
\frac{18}{3} = 6
\]

Therefore, \((9 \times 2) / (2 + 1)\) results in **6**.

Answer 3

Let's evaluate the expression step by step:

1. Calculate \(18 - 2\):
\[
18 - 2 = 16
\]

2. Now, substitute back into the expression:
\[
8 - 1 - \frac{16}{8}
\]

3. Calculate \(\frac{16}{8}\):
\[
\frac{16}{8} = 2
\]

4. Now the expression simplifies to:
\[
8 - 1 - 2
\]

5. Calculate \(8 - 1\):
\[
8 - 1 = 7
\]

6. Finally, calculate \(7 - 2\):
\[
7 - 2 = 5
\]

Since the final result is **5** and not **2**, the statement "8 - 1 - (18 - 2) / 8 results in 2" is **false**.
