Math Problem Statement

Perform the following operations and write the result as a single number.

(8 × 3) ÷ [15 – (2 × 4) + 1]

8

10

5

3

Solution

Let's break down the given expression step by step:

(8×3)÷[15(2×4)+1](8 \times 3) \div \left[ 15 - (2 \times 4) + 1 \right]

  1. First calculate the inner parentheses:

2×4=82 \times 4 = 8

So the expression becomes:

(8×3)÷[158+1](8 \times 3) \div \left[ 15 - 8 + 1 \right]

  1. Next, simplify the expression inside the brackets:

158=715 - 8 = 7

Then:

7+1=87 + 1 = 8

Now the expression is:

(8×3)÷8(8 \times 3) \div 8

  1. Next, calculate 8×38 \times 3:

8×3=248 \times 3 = 24

So the expression becomes:

24÷824 \div 8

  1. Finally, divide 24 by 8:

24÷8=324 \div 8 = 3

So, the result is:

3\boxed{3}
