To evaluate the expression on both sides of the inequality, let's calculate each side separately.
-
For the left side: \( 8 \cdot 3 + 2 \cdot 6 \)
- Calculate \( 8 \cdot 3 = 24 \)
- Calculate \( 2 \cdot 6 = 12 \)
- Now add the two results: \( 24 + 12 = 36 \)
-
For the right side: \( 60 \div 5 \cdot 3 \)
- Calculate \( 60 \div 5 = 12 \)
- Now multiply by 3: \( 12 \cdot 3 = 36 \)
Now we have:
Left side: 36
Right side: 36
Thus, \( 36 = 36 \).
The correct operator that can be inserted to make the statement true is:
= (equals)
