Two less than one-fourth of the product of ten thirds and six

Answer 1

Hi Breasia,

I assume you want ot write an expression for the text and simplify it.

The product of ten thirds and six can be written as :

10 • 6

3

One fourth of that product would be written as :

1 • ( 10 • 6)

4 ( 3)

Then you would need to subtract 2:

1 • ( 10 • 6) - 2

4 ( 3)

Now evaluate the expression:

1 • ( 10 • 6) - 2 = 1 • 20 - 2 = 5 -2 = 3

4 ( 3) 4
