Question

What is the answer to this problem? (6*6*6)+5*(8+ 1/5)

Answer 1

257, as (6 times 6 times 6 is 216), and 5 times of 8 1/5 is 41. Add 41 and 216 and you get 257.

Answer 2

Excellent, so first we'll start with the parentheses.
Step 1: (6*6*6) + 5*(8+1/5) rewrite the problem
Step 2: (216) + 5*(41/5) 
Step 3: 216 + 205/5 distribute
Step 4: 216 + 41 divide
Step 5: 257 add
Hope this helps :)
