Help please
GL maths 6, question number 10
If A = 3, B = 6, C = 8, D = 9, E = 12,
what is the answer to this sum written as
a letter?
E/CxB + A = (?)
Answer is E
I am not sure how to work out, can you shed some lights please.

Re: Help please
order is do the division first:
12/8=1.5
1.5*6=9
9+3=12
12/8=1.5
1.5*6=9
9+3=12

Re: Help please
goldenstar - I will suggest that you understand the BIDMAS rule which will help you to solve any of such questions. The order of calculation is Bracket, Indices, Division, Multiply, Add and Subtract
Your question: If A = 3, B = 6, C = 8, D = 9, E = 12,
what is the answer to this sum written as a letter?
E/CxB + A
Step 1. Calculate "E/C" = 12/8 i.e. 3/2
Step 2. Calculate "X B" = 3/2 X 6 = 9
Step 3. Calculate "+A" = 9 + 3 = 12
Answer is 12
You can also try
4 X (3 square) + (12/2 - 3) - 5
4 X 9 + (6 - 3) -5
4 X 9 + (6 - 3) -5
36+3-5
39-5
