evaluate the following numerical expression
5-16 divided by 8+2
To evaluate the expression 5-16 ÷ (8+2), we first need to find the value of the expression in the parentheses, which is 8+2. This simplifies to 10.
So, the expression becomes 5 - 16 ÷ 10.
Next, we need to evaluate the division 16 ÷ 10. This simplifies to 1.6.
Finally, we subtract 1.6 from 5: 5 - 1.6 = 3.4.
Therefore, the value of the expression is 3.4.
