1 answer

Let's simplify the expression step-by-step:

The expression is:

\[ 4 \div 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \div (15 - 13) \]

  1. Start by simplifying the parentheses: \[ 15 - 13 = 2 \]

    Now, substitute back into the expression: \[ 4 \div 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \div 2 \]

  2. Now, perform the division and multiplication from left to right:

    First, calculate \(4 \div 4\): \[ 4 \div 4 = 1 \]

    Now our expression is: \[ 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \div 2 \]

  3. Next, calculate \(1 \cdot 2\): \[ 1 \cdot 2 = 2 \]

    So now we have: \[ 2 \cdot 2 \div 2 \]

  4. Next, calculate \(2 \cdot 2\): \[ 2 \cdot 2 = 4 \]

    Now our expression is: \[ 4 \div 2 \]

  5. Finally, calculate \(4 \div 2\): \[ 4 \div 2 = 2 \]

Thus, the fully simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{2} \]
