Question

18 divided by (1+5)(4-2)

Answer 1

1/2 or 0.5

Explanation:

PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents,multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

Parentheses: 1+5=6, 4-2=2

Multiply: 6•2=12

Division: 18 divided by 12= 3/2 or 1.5

Answer 2

= 3/2

`= (18)/((1 + 5)(4 - 2))`

`= (18)/((6)(2))`

`= (18)/(12)`

Simplify the fraction.

`= (3)/(2)`
