Question

) An expression is given above.Which statement is true about the parenthesis in this expression?A) The parenthesis indicate that 8 + 2 should be solved first.B) The parenthesis indicate that 8 + 2 should be solved last.C) The parenthesis indicate that 2 ÷ 2 should be solved last.D) The parenthesis indicate that 3 x 8 should be solved first.

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`3\cdot(8+2)/2`

You need to remember the order of operations PEMDAS. This is:

- P: Parentheses.

- E: Exponents.

- M and D: Multiplication and Division.

- A and S: Addition and Subtraction.

Therefore, you can conclude that the operations inside the parentheses should be solved first. In this case, the operation inside the parentheses is the Addition of 8 and 2.

Hence, the answer is: Option A.
