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

3 answers

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.

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

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.
