Math Problem Statement

Evaluate each numerical expression.

15.5 × [(2 × 2.4) + 3.2] – 24 =

34 ÷ [(7.2 × 0.8) + 3.24] =

4.4 + [4 × 14 + 8.6] =

[6 × (3 × 8.3)] + 1.6 =

Solution

Let’s evaluate each numerical expression step by step:


1. 15.5×[(2×2.4)+3.2]2415.5 \times [(2 \times 2.4) + 3.2] - 24

  1. Solve inside the brackets first: 2×2.4=4.82 \times 2.4 = 4.8 4.8+3.2=84.8 + 3.2 = 8
  2. Multiply: 15.5×8=12415.5 \times 8 = 124
  3. Subtract 24: 12424=100124 - 24 = 100 Answer: 100

2. 34÷[(7.2×0.8)+3.24]34 \div [(7.2 \times 0.8) + 3.24]

  1. Solve inside the brackets: 7.2×0.8=5.767.2 \times 0.8 = 5.76 5.76+3.24=95.76 + 3.24 = 9
  2. Divide: 34÷9=3.777 (or 3.78 rounded to 2 decimals)34 \div 9 = 3.777\ldots \ (\text{or } 3.78 \text{ rounded to 2 decimals}) Answer: 3.78

3. 4.4+[4×14+8.6]4.4 + [4 \times 14 + 8.6]

  1. Solve inside the brackets: 4×14=564 \times 14 = 56 56+8.6=64.656 + 8.6 = 64.6
  2. Add: 4.4+64.6=694.4 + 64.6 = 69 Answer: 69

4. [6×(3×8.3)]+1.6[6 \times (3 \times 8.3)] + 1.6

  1. Solve the inner multiplication first: 3×8.3=24.93 \times 8.3 = 24.9 6×24.9=149.46 \times 24.9 = 149.4
  2. Add 1.6: 149.4+1.6=151149.4 + 1.6 = 151 Answer: 151
