Question

(15-3)÷12+1
How to divide this without using a remainder?​

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

To be able to solve this equation, you would use PEMDAS. This stands for the order of operations, and which order you would do them in. P stands for parenthesis, E stands for exponents, M stands for multiplication, D stands for division, A stands for addition, and S stands for subtraction. Using this order, you would solve what is inside the parentheses first. So, 15-3 is 12. Once this piece is solved, you would have 12÷12+1. Then, since you don't have any exponents or multiplication, you would skip to division. 12 ÷ 12 is 1. So then your equation would be: 1+1. 1+1 is equal to 2. So your answer is 2! There is not remainder in the solution of this problem.

Answer 2

If you solved this, it wouldn't have a remainder. First you would solve the numbers in the parenthesis, (15 - 3), which is 12. Now it should look like, 12 ÷ 12 + 1. Next you divide 12 by 12 and that equals 1. And all you need to do now is add 1 + 1, which is 2. So your answer will be 2.
