To simplify the expression using the Order of Operations, first multiply 4 and 5:
4 • 5 = 20
Then, divide 24 by 23:
24 ÷ 23 = 1.04348 (rounded to 5 decimal places)
So, the correct answer is 1,708.
To simplify the expression using the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction):
1. First, we perform any calculations inside parentheses, but there are no parentheses in this expression.
2. Next, we evaluate any exponents, but there are no exponents in this expression.
3. Moving on, we perform multiplication and division from left to right. In this case, we have division before multiplication, so we start with the division operation.
24 ÷ 23 = 1.04347826
4. Finally, we perform the remaining multiplication operations from left to right.
1.04347826 * 4 * 5 = 20.8695652
Therefore, simplifying the expression 24 ÷ 23 - 4 • 5, we get 20.8695652.
