Question

What is
1/3 x (15+6)

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

Using BODMAS which stands for:

(Bracket, of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction)

We first treat the bracket

(15+6)=21

We then treat the division

(but it is already reduced to its lowest terms therefore no need, but if you like you can reduce it to a decimal though)

`(1)/(3)`

Then we move onto the multiplication which is the last part

`(1)/(3)` ×21=
`(21)/(3)` =7

Answer 2

First, you do 15+6 (because of the parentheses)

You get 21

then you have to do 1/3 times 21 and you get 7
