Answer:
24.3
Explanation:
We need to follow the order of operations PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Carry out the operation in the parentheses first:
3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - (1.2 × 4)
⇒ 3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
Now the exponent:
⇒ 3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
⇒ (3 × 3 × 3) + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
⇒ 27 + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
Now, the division (there is no multiplication):
⇒ 27 + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
⇒ 27 + 2.1 - 4.8
Finally, carry out the addition and subtraction (from left to right)
⇒ 27 + 2.1 - 4.8
⇒ 29.1 - 4.8
⇒ 24.3
