To find the value of the expression 48 ÷ ((2 + 6) × 2) - 1, we need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, multiplication/division (from left to right), and then addition/subtraction (from left to right).
Starting with the parentheses, we have 2 + 6 = 8.
Next, we have to perform the multiplication: 8 * 2 = 16.
Then, we perform the division: 48 ÷ 16 = 3.
Finally, we subtract 1: 3 - 1 = 2.
Therefore, the equivalent value is B) 22.
b is 2 not 22 sorry
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct that the equivalent value is B) 2.
To find the value equivalent to the given expression, we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS.
Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
2 + 6 = 8
Step 2: Multiply the result by 2.
8 * 2 = 16
Step 3: Divide 48 by the result.
48 / 16 = 3
Step 4: Subtract 1 from the result.
3 - 1 = 2
Therefore, the value equivalent to 48 ÷ ((2 + 6) × 2) − 1 is 2. The corresponding option letter for this value is B.
