Question

Evaluate the expression. [(8 x 7) – 2): 9​

Answer 1

Answer:

☑ Answer is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

${ \tt{ \{(8 \times 7) - 2 \} : 9}} \\ = { \tt{(56 - 2) :9 }} \\ = { \tt{54 :9 }}$

» But this is a ratio, so it can be expressed in terms of fractions:

$= { \tt{ \frac{54}{9} }}$

» Divide both the denominator and numerator by 9:

${ \tt{ = \frac{54 \div 9}{9 \div 9} }} \\ \\ = { \tt{ \frac{6}{1} }} \\ \\ = 6$
