use PEMDAS to simplify: 72 divided by 12 + 26 - 8 . 3. A 56. B 8. C 72. D -10.

Answer 1

Using the PEMDAS rule, we start by simplifying the expression within the parentheses first:

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - (8 × 3)

Next, we multiply:

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 24

Then, we divide:

6 + 26 - 24

Finally, we add and subtract from left to right:

32 - 24

This simplifies to:

8

Therefore, the answer is 8.
