1. use the correct order of operation to solve the following problem: 3 × (50 – 62) ÷ 2 a. 69 b. 18 c. 21 d. 57

The correct answer is option B.  18

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given an expression : 3 × (50 – 62) ÷ 2

To find the answer we have to use BODMAS principle

BODMAS means that the order of operations

B- Bracket, O - of , D - Division, M - Multiplication, A - Addition and

S - Subtraction

To find the correct option

Step 1: Do the bracket first

3 × (50 – 62) ÷ 2 =  3 × (-12) ÷ 2

Step 2: Division

3 × (-12) ÷ 2 = 3 x (-6)

Step 3 : Multiplication

3 x (-6) = -18

The correct option is option B.  18

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
