I got 83. I got it by doing 3+1 first because it was the FIRST parenthesis. Then I did 12 divided by 4 then that equaled 3 and since the 3 would still be in parenthesis you times that by 12 and get 36. You then do 36 + 6 which is 42. 42 x 2 = 84. Lastly 84 - 1 = 83 I hoped this helped and I'm sorry if I was a little bit confusing!
Answer:
ascending: 1.4%, 0.025, 14/100, 1/4, 0.4
OR
descending: 0.4, 1/4, 14/100, 0.025, 1.4%
(your question did not specify which order)
Step-by-step explanation:
make all the values given constant (either decimal or fraction).
1/4 = 0.25
0.4 = 0.4
1.4% = 0.014
14/100 = 0.14
0.025 = 0.025
now that the numbers are easier to compare, rearrange them in the order the questions requires.
ascending: 1.4%, 0.025, 14/100, 1/4, 0.4
descending: 0.4, 1/4, 14/100, 0.025, 1.4%
First you simplify the square root of -8, which is approximately -2.83. Subtract -2 by the square root of -8, and you'll get -4.83. Divide -4.83 by 2, and the answer should be -2.415 or -2.42. I'm not sure about this answer though.
