Hi !
A
19 + 7 / 2 - 5
According to PEMDAS, division comes first, so we start by diving 7 by 2, which equals 3.5.
19 + 3.5 - 5 = 17.5
B
19 + 7 / 2 - 5
In order for this to equal 8, the brackets will be placed like this: (19 + 7)/2 - 5
It gives (26)/2 - 5
Then we divide 26 by 2 (according to PEMDAS once again)
We get 13 - 5 = 8
C
19 + 7 / 2 x 6 + 1
In order to get 2 as an answer, we place the brackets this way:
(19 + 7)/(2 x 6 + 1)
(26)/(12 + 1)
26/13 = 2
Hope it helps!!
