Question

What is the value of the expression (3a-8)/(6(8-a)) when a = 4? Remember to use PEMDAS.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of (3a-8)/(6(8-8)) is equal to 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4 for a.

(3(4)-8) / (6(8-4))

(12-8) / (6(4)

4 / 24

Now simplify.

4/24 simplifies to 1/6

Answer 2

Answer:

[See Below]

Step-by-step explanation:

____________________________

→ Rewrite the equation given the information:

  → $a=4$

• $(3*4-8)$ ÷ $(6(8-4))$

           $or$

• $\frac{(3*4-8)}{(6(8-4))}$

→ Solve using PEMDAS:

 

  → Parenthesis:

• $3*4-8=\bold4$

• $(6(8-4))=\bold2\bold4$

 

  → Division:

• $4$ ÷ $24=\bold0\bold.\bold1\bold6\bold$$r$ (Repeating)

____________________________

So based on the above work we can conclude that your answer is:

• Decimal Form: $\bold0\bold.\bold1\bold6\bold$$r$ (Repeating)

• Fraction Form: $\frac{\bold1}{\bold6}$
