Question

Find the value of 4 + (27 - 12·2) ÷ 2. Answer's are 3.5,5.5 and 19 Which one is it

Answer 1

You follow the rule PEMDAS parenthesis, exponent, multipy, divide, add, substart. So you would start off by doing 27-12x2, you would do 12x2=24 first then 27-24=3. So then it would be 4+3/2, do 3/2=1.5, then add it 4+1.5=5.5. So the correct answer is 5.5

Answer 2

4 + (27 - 12·2) ÷ 2
= 4 + (27 - 24) ÷ 2
= 4 + 3 ÷ 2
= 4 + 1.5
= 5.5

answer is 5.5
