Question

I'm having problems with Algebraic thinking, evaluating expressions with parentheses.

Answer 1

We have to check which options gives as result 2.

We can apply the order of operations to check them.

We start with option A:

$\begin{gathered} 32\/(4+3*4) \\ 32\/(4+12) \\ 32\/16 \\ 2 \end{gathered}$

We can check option B also:

$\begin{gathered} (32\/4)+(3*4) \\ 8+12 \\ 20 \end{gathered}$

Answer: Option A gives the result of 2.
