Question

18 divide by 2 * 3/5-2 simplify show all work

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

I would guess it looks like this - if not then tell me

`(18)/( (2 * 3)/(5 - 2) )`

2×3=6

5-2=3

Then there's only

`(18)/( (6)/(3) )`

Which is equal to

`(18)/(1) * (3)/(6) = (54)/(6) = (9)/(1) = 9`

Answer 2

• 9 or 3 2/5

Explanation:

There are two scenarios, (5 - 2) in denominator and 5 in denominator as it is not clear. Solving both:

• 18/2*3/(5 - 2) =
• 9*3/3 =
• 9*1 =
• 9

------------------------

• 18/2*3/5 - 2 =
• 9*3/5 - 2=
• 27/5 - 2 =
• 17/5 =
• 3 2/5
