Question

what would be the second step in simplifying the expression 4to the 2nd ÷(2•9) + 5

Answer 1

we have

4to the 2nd ÷(2•9) + 5​

so

$\begin{gathered} 4^2\div(2\cdot9)+5 \\ \text{Solve the product in the parenthesis} \\ 16\div(18)+5 \\ solve\text{ the division} \\ \frac{16}{18}+5 \\ \end{gathered}$

therefore

the next step is multiply
