Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK!! Simplify: 1/3 + 6 (2/3 - 1/6)^2

Answer 1

Use order of operations (PEMDAS)

so first thing you work out is  the parentheses:-

1/3 + 6( 2/3 - 1/6)^2

= 1/3 + 6*(1/2)^2     Now work out the exponent part:-

= 1/3 + 6 * 1/4  Now the multiply:-

= 1/3 + 6/4

= 1/3 + 3/2

= 2/6 +  9/6

= 11/6  or 1  5/6  answer

= 11/6  or 1 5/6   answer
