Question

What is the answer to 6/2(1+3)?

Answer 1

Use PEMDAS to figure out which expression to work out first:

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

First, we'll want to solve the term with parentheses:

$2(1+3) = 2(4) = 2 \times 4 = 8$

The equation should now look like this:

$6 \div 8$

Divide to get your answer:

$6 \div 8 = 0.75$

The answer is 0.75.
