Equation arrangement: 10 + [1/2]^4. 48 [1/2]^4 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/16 10 + [1/16] * 48 According to the law of BODMAS, we have to carry out multiplication operations before we carry out addition operations, therefore, we now have. [1/16] * 48 = 3 Then, 10 +3 =13. Thus, the final answer is 13.
