Question

Evaluate the expression below. Enter your answer in the box. (4.5 + 7.6) - 8 + 2.5

Answer 1

Given the expression:

$(4.5+7.6)-8+2.5$

first we do the operation inside the parenthesis to get the following:

$\begin{gathered} (4.5+7.6)-8+2.5=12.1-8+2.5 \\ \end{gathered}$

Now we can add and substract the resulting expression:

$12.1-8+2.5=14.6-8=6.6$

therefore, the result is 6.6
