The Order of Operations must be used when simplifying a math expression. Put the list below in the correct order.(1 point)
To correctly simplify a math expression using the Order of Operations, the correct order is as follows:
1. Parentheses (simplify expressions inside parentheses first)
2. Exponents (simplify any exponents)
3. Multiplication and division (from left to right)
4. Addition and subtraction (from left to right)
Therefore, the correct order is:
1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and division
4. Addition and subtraction
Use the Order of Operations to simplify (solve) the expression: 24 ÷ 23

To simplify the expression using the Order of Operations, we follow the steps in the correct order:
1. Parentheses (if any)
2. Exponents (if any)
3. Multiplication and division (from left to right)
4. Addition and subtraction (from left to right)
The expression is: 24 ÷ 23 - 4 • 5
Step 1: There are no parentheses.
Step 2: There are no exponents.
Step 3: We have multiplication to perform before division, so we proceed with that:
4 • 5 = 20
Step 4: Now we perform division:
24 ÷ 23 = 1.04347826087 (rounded to several decimal places)
Finally, we subtract 20 from 1.04347826087:
1.04347826087 - 20 = -18.95652173913 (rounded to several decimal places)
Therefore, the simplified expression is approximately -18.9565.
