Answer:

VAnswer: 23¹/₄

23 and 1 over 4

Explanation: Use PEMDAS OR BODMAS to calculate

(3/6)² + 7 × 4 -5 Parentheses first. 3/6 is 1/2 Then Exponents

(1/2)² is ¹/₄

Then calculate Multiplication and Division

7 × 4= 28

Now we have

¹/₄ + 28 - 5 Do the Addition and Subtraction, left to right.

28 ¹/₄ - 5

23 ¹/₄

It looks as if the same question is posted twice here, and a bit confusing to sort out. I am assuming the parentheses around the fraction, and that the "power of 2" is the exponent. If the "2 + 7 × 4 -5" is all in parentheses as an exponent to calculate, that would result in a different answer.

I hope this helps.
