First, we will start with the innermost parentheses, we rewrite the expression in fraction form:
We add the 3 to the numerator of the fraction and create a multiplication expression:
Again, we address the innermost parentheses, we invert the fraction to create a multiplication expression:
We add the 4 to the numerator of the fraction and create a multiplication exercise:
We add the 8 to the numerator of the fraction and create a multiplication exercise:
Now we will invert the fraction to create a multiplication exercise:
We add the 2 to the numerator of the fraction and create a multiplication exercise:
We break down the 10 in the numerator and the 4 in the denominator into smaller multiplication exercises:
We simplify to 2 in the numerator and denominator:
We solve the multiplication exercises in the numerator and denominator from left to right:
\( 100-(5+55)= \)
Always start with the innermost parentheses! In this problem, begin with first, then work your way outward level by level.
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. When you see , it becomes .
Take it one step at a time! Write out each step clearly and simplify completely before moving to the next level. Don't try to do multiple steps at once.
Substitute your answer back through each level of the original expression. If is correct, then should match intermediate calculations.
Yes, but be very careful with parentheses! Enter exactly as written: 2÷(8×(4÷(3×(10÷(4×8))))). Missing even one parenthesis will give you the wrong answer.
