What is the correct result for 16÷4× (8- 4) -1?

Answer 1

Hi, Christen.

Okay , so you need to use PEMDAS:

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication/Division

Addition/Subtraction

16÷4 x (8-4)-1.

First, do the parentheses:

16 ÷ 4 x (4) -1.

Next, you do the division and multiplication in order from the left to the right:

Since 16 ÷ 4 = 4

now you have:

4 x 4 - 1

Now you do the next multiplication:

4 x 4 = 16 so now you have:

16 - 1

Now you can finish the problem:

16 -1 = 15

So, your answer is 15
