Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the expression (8 + 5 × 8) ÷ 5.

Solution

The given mathematical expression is:

8+5×85\frac{8 + 5 \times 8}{5}

Step 1: Apply the Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)

  • Multiplication first: 5×8=405 \times 8 = 40
  • Addition next: 8+40=488 + 40 = 48

Step 2: Division

485=9.6\frac{48}{5} = 9.6

Final Answer:

9.69.6
