Question

Calculate the value below. Use the correct order of operations.3-6÷2+8 A. -0.3 B. 6.5 c. 2.4 D. 8.0

Answer 1

We are given the following operation:

`3-6/2+8`

The conventional order of operation tells us that we must start with the divisions and multiplication from left to right, therefore, we solve first the division:

`3-6/2+8=3-3+8`

Now, we solve the subtractions and additions, and we get:

`3-3+8=0+8=8`

Therefore, the result is 8. The correct answer is D.
