Answer:

17/4

Explanation:

Solution:

Your problem → 2((1/8)+ 4) - ((3/6)*8)

2((18)+4)-((36)⋅8)

=2⋅(1/8)+4-((36)⋅8)

=2⋅(1+4×8)/8-((36)⋅8)

=2⋅(1+32)/8-((36)⋅8)

=2⋅(33/8)-((36)⋅8)

=2⋅(33/8)-((36)⋅8)

=(33/4)-((36)⋅8)

=(33/4)-(36⋅8)

=(33/4)-(12⋅8)

=(33/4)-12⋅8

=(33/4)-4

=(33/4)-4

=(33-4×4)/4

=(33-16)/4

=17/4

=4.25 (in decimal)
