Question

How to solve 2×4÷3+5

Answer 1

To solve your problem, we’re going to use PEMDAS. PEMDAS is a acronym for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. The order of PEMDAS is where you are going to solve the problem. Since your problem does not have any Parentheses or Exponents, we skip steps P and E.

2 x 4 ÷ 3 + 5 has multiplication and division in it, but 2 x 4 is before 4 ÷ 3 so we’ll multiply those first to get 8.

Now it is 8 ÷ 3 + 5. Divide 8 by 3 and on a calculator you should get 2.67. Lastly, add 2.67 and 5 to get your answer of 7.67 .

Answer 2

You will need to follow order of operations, which states that operations must be completed in the following order: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and then addition and subtraction.

In this case, there are no parentheses and no exponents, so we will start with the multiplication and division:

$2 \cdot 4 \div 3 + 5 = (2 \cdot 4 \div 3) + 5$

$\Bigg(\dfrac{8}{3} \Bigg) + 5$

Now, we will finish by doing addition and subtraction:

$\Bigg(\dfrac{8}{3} \Bigg) + 5 = \dfrac{8}{3} + \dfrac{15}{3}$

$\dfrac{8 + 15}{3}$

$\boxed{\dfrac{23}{3}}$

Our answer is $\boxed{\dfrac{23}{3}}$.
