Answer: D or the Fourth Choice-The quotient of 14 and 8 tenths divided by 2 plus the product of 6 and 3 minus 12.
PEDMAS means Parentheses, Exponents, Divide, Multiply, Add, Subtract. The first thing we must solve is what is in the parentheses, that is 14.8 divided by 2. We don't have any exponents, so we move to divide. We have already solved the division sentence that was in the parentheses, so we have to multiply 6x3 next. 6x3 will then be added to the answer that was divided by 14.2 and 2, and lastly we will subtract 12. The only answer choice that follows that pattern is D or The quotient of 14 and 8 tenths divided by 2 plus the product of 6 and 3 minus 12.
