Question

1.5 module 1 post-test

evaluate each expression:

(288 \div 3(9 + 3) =)

Explanation:

Simplify the innermost parentheses

We begin by evaluating the expression inside the innermost parentheses:

$$ 9 + 3 = 12 $$

Simplify the brackets

Next, we substitute this value back into the brackets and perform the multiplication:

$$ 3(12) = 36 $$

Perform the division

Finally, we divide the initial number by the simplified value of the bracketed expression:

$$ 288 \div 36 = 8 $$

Answer:

Evaluate each expression:

\(288 \div [3(9 + 3)] =\) <blank>8</blank>
