Given the numerical statement:
10 plus 8 divided by 2 plus 4 equals 13
Put brackets in the equation.
Solution:
The given numerical statement can be written as,
10 + 8/2 +4 =13
Since we are asked to put the brackets inside the equation, we must first understand what operation must be performed first. To do so, we make PEMDAS, as the reference. PEMDAS stands for, parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, hence we first enclose the operation of division with a bracket, and can choose either to include 10 or 4.
10 + [8/2 +4] =13
Final answer:
10 + [8/2 +4] =13
