Answer: 4/27 or 0.148148

First you solve for any grouping symbols ( absolute value, parentheses, brackets, etc.) Since there aren’t any you move on to exponents, 4^3 is the same as 4*4*4 which equals 64. Next you do multiplication 6*2 is 12 so our problem is currently

64-60 over 15+12. Next you simplify, which make the problem 4/27. You can divide which makes your problem 0.148148 but most of the times you keep it as a fraction.
