Question

Evaluate the expression:

1/3 (4x3) + 2^3

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

we can use PEMDAS to find the solution to the expression, PEMDAS stands for:

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

we look at the expression and we see parentheses, so we solve whats inside of the parentheses

(4 x 3) = 12

1/3 (12) + 2³

now, we solve for the exponents in the expression

2³ = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

1/3 (12) + 8

now we multiply the terms in the expression that need to be multiplied.

1/3 x 12 = 4

4 + 8

we have no division in the expression, so we skip that step and move onto addition, which will be our last step as there is no subtraction in the expression either

4 + 8 = 12

our answer to the expression is 12

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

1/3 (12) +8

4+8= 12
