Answer:
A. 24 ÷ [6 − 2] × 5 + 6
Explanation:
We are given the expression:
24 ÷ 6 − 2 × 5 + 6
Where could she place brackets in the expression for it to be equal to 36?
We have to follow a rule in mathematics that is referred to as :
PEMDAS
P = Parentheses (Brackets)
E = Exponents
M = Multiplication
D = Division
A = Addition
S = Subtraction.
When given a mathematical expression with a lots of operations embedded in it, we use PEDMAS rule to solve for it correctly.
Option A 24 ÷ [6 − 2] × 5 + 6 is the correct Option to give us 36. This is because, following the PEDMAS rule.
P = Parentheses comes first
24 ÷ [6 − 2] × 5 + 6
= 24 ÷ 4 × 5 + 6
Division comes next
24 ÷ 4 × 5 + 6
= 6 × 5 + 6
Multiplication comes next
6 × 5 + 6
= 30 + 6
Finally , Addition
= 36.
Therefore, Option A is the correct Option, that shows us where the brackets should be placed to give us 36
