Math Problem Statement

12/2(4+2)

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

The given expression is:

122(4+2)\frac{12}{2}(4 + 2)

Step 1: Simplify the parentheses

4+2=64 + 2 = 6

Now, the expression becomes: 122×6\frac{12}{2} \times 6

Step 2: Simplify the division

122=6\frac{12}{2} = 6

Now, the expression is: 6×66 \times 6

Step 3: Perform the multiplication

6×6=366 \times 6 = 36

So, the value of the expression is 36.
