Question

Simplify 8w+12/4 and make it correct

Answer 1

`8w+(12)/(4)` = 8w+3

`(8w+12)/(4)` = 2w+3

Explanation:

For
`8w+(12)/(4)`, you can divide 12 by 4 which is three.

For
`(8w+12)/(4)`, you have to divide each term. 8w is the same as 8·w. 8·w/4 is 2·w. 12/4 is 3.

Answer 2

The correct value of this simplified expression is 8w + 3

This question is related to algebraic expression and simplification.

- Algebraic expression is a mathematical sentence that involves letters accompanied by real numbers, where it can be a variable or unknown.

- Simplification of a number is just the division of the same divisor by the numerator and denominator.

Given the expression: 8w+12/4, the only term in this expression that can be simplified is the fraction. So let's divide these two numbers by the number 2:

8w + 12 / 4

8w + 12 ÷ 2 / 4 ÷ 2

8w + 6 /2

It is still possible to simplify this expression - dividing the numerator by the denominator, so:

8w + 6 /2

8w + 6 ÷ 2

8w + 3

Therefore, the correct answer of this expression will be 8w + 3
