The most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

<h3>What are parentheses?</h3>

In mathematics, parenthesis is used to arrange numbers in the sequence of operations, clarify numbers, and denote multiplication.

Suppose you have an expression as:-

E = { ( 5-2 )8} 6

In this case, you would calculate 5 minus 2 first (parentheses), then multiply by 8 (brackets), then complete the part inside the curly braces, and finally multiply by 6.

Therefore the most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

P(B) = 2/15

The area of rectangle A is 5(7) = 35 in².
The area of rectangle B is 3(4) = 12 in²
The area of square C is 4(4) = 16 in²
The area of rectangle D is 3(9) = 27 in²

The total area of the figure is 35+12+16+27 = 90 in².

The probability of hitting B is 12/90 which simplifies to 2/15.
