19

Explanation:

P.E.M.D.A.S

2X8=16

15/5= 3

Answer 2

27

Explanation:

1) Write it out using operations

• 15 divide by 5 = 15 ÷ 5
• 15 ÷ 5 plus 8 = 15 ÷ 5 + 8
• 15 ÷ 5 + 8 plus 2 = 15 ÷ 5 + 8 + 2
• 15 ÷ 5 + 8 + 2 times 8 = 15 ÷ 5 + 8 + 2 × 8

2) Organise it into PEMDAS

P: There are no brackets

E: There are no exponents (powers)

M: We need to put 2 × 8 in brackets (to make sure we know what to do first

D: We need to put 15 ÷ 5 in brackets

A&S: As the numbers we need to add and subtract will be part of the brackets we can move on!

3) Solve!

First we need to do the brackets

• 2 × 8 = 16
• 15 ÷ 5 = 3

Then the rest

• 3 + 8 = 11
• 11 + 16 = 27

Hope this helps, have a great day!!
