Answer 1

2and one

Explanation:

Answer 2

The second statement is Correct.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that Antonio uses a calculator to find
`38-(44-16)/(4)` and gets a result of –10.

`38-(44-16)/(4)=38-(28)/(4)`

`=38-7`

`=31`

So, the first statement is incorrect.

2nd statement: Antonio found the answer for
`38-44-(16)/(4)`

`38-44-(16)/(4)=-6-4`

`38-44-(16)/(4)=-10`

The second statement is Correct.

Third statement: Antonio found the answer for
`(38-44-16)/(4)`

`(38-44-16)/(4)=-5.5`

So, the third statement is incorrect.

Fourth statement: Antonio found the answer for
`38+(44-16)/(4)`

`38+(44-16)/(4)=38+7`

`38+(44-16)/(4)=45`

So, the fourth statement is incorrect.

Hence, the second statement is Correct.
