Division of Whole Numbers with Multiplication in Parentheses - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Understanding Division of Whole Numbers with Multiplication in Parentheses

Complete explanation with examples

Division of whole numbers with multiplication in parentheses

For example:

24:(6×2)=24 : (6\times2) =

One way to solve this exercise will be to remove the parentheses. To do this, we must remember the rule that states that, in order to remove the parentheses, we must divide the whole number by each of the terms of the multiplication operation in parenthese.

That is, in our example:

24:(6×2)= 24:(6\times2)=

24:6:2=24 : 6 : 2 =

4:2=24 : 2 = 2
