Math Problem Statement

8÷(8−(7−4))=24

Solution

Let's evaluate the expression step-by-step to see if we get the result:

8÷(8(74))=?8 \div (8 - (7 - 4)) = ?

Step 1: Evaluate the innermost parentheses

Calculate 747 - 4: 74=37 - 4 = 3 So, the expression becomes: 8÷(83)8 \div (8 - 3)

Step 2: Evaluate the next parentheses

Calculate 838 - 3: 83=58 - 3 = 5 Now we have: 8÷58 \div 5

Step 3: Perform the division

Calculate 8÷58 \div 5: 8÷5=1.68 \div 5 = 1.6

Conclusion

The result of the expression 8÷(8(74))8 \div (8 - (7 - 4)) is 1.61.6, not 2424.
