1 answer

Let's evaluate each expression step by step to find which one is equal to 4.6.

  1. 1.6 + (3 x 4) - 2 divide by 2

    • = 1.6 + 12 - 2 / 2
    • = 1.6 + 12 - 1 (since 2 divided by 2 equals 1)
    • = 1.6 + 12 - 1 = 12.6
  2. 1.6 + 3 x 4 - 2 divide by 2

    • = 1.6 + 12 - 2 / 2
    • = 1.6 + 12 - 1
    • = 1.6 + 12 - 1 = 12.6
  3. [1.6 + (3 x 4)] - (2 divide by 2)

    • = [1.6 + 12] - 1
    • = 13.6 - 1
    • = 12.6
  4. (1.6 + 3) x (4 - 2) divide by 2

    • = (4.6) x (2) / 2
    • = 9.2 / 2
    • = 4.6

Thus, the expression that equals 4.6 is:

(1.6 + 3) x (4 - 2) divide by 2.
