Question

Carly tried to evaluate the expression 24 = (4 x 2 - 5). Her work is below.24 : (4 x 2-5)Step 1: = 24 : (8-5)Step 2: = 24 - 3Step 3: = 8In which step did Carly first make a mistake?Choose 1 answer:A Step 1BStep 2Step 3Carly did not make a mistake.iz3 of 7OOOCheckDomindoro

Answer 1

Carly was given the expression

`24/(4*2-5)`

Applying BODMAS,

Step 1:

`24/(4*2-5)=24/(8-5)`

Step 2:

`24/(8-5)=24/3`

Step 3:

`24/3=8`

All the steps are correct, so Carly did not make a mistake

Hence, the answer is D
