Using the order of operations (PEMDAS), we first simplify the expressions inside the parentheses:
2 + 6 = 8
Then we multiply 8 by 2:
8 x 2 = 16
Next, we divide 48 by 16:
48 ÷ 16 = 3
Finally, we subtract 1:
3 - 1 = 2
Therefore, the value equivalent to 48 ÷ ((2 + 6) × 2) − 1 is 3.
2 + 6 = 8
Then we multiply 8 by 2:
8 x 2 = 16
Next, we divide 48 by 16:
48 ÷ 16 = 3
Finally, we subtract 1:
3 - 1 = 2
Therefore, the value equivalent to 48 ÷ ((2 + 6) × 2) − 1 is 3.
