Question

Evaluate the given expression.

$$\{15 \times 32 \div 2\} \div \{75 \div 5\}$$

The correct answer is

16

To solve this expression, we apply the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), working from the innermost groupings outward.

Step 1: Solve the First Set of Braces

Calculate the value of $\{15 \times 32 \div 2\}$. Since multiplication and division have the same priority, we calculate from left to right:

Multiplication: $15 \times 32 = 480$

Division: $480 \div 2 = \mathbf{240}$

Step 2: Solve the Second Set of Braces

Calculate the value of $\{75 \div 5\}$:

Division: $75 \div 5 = \mathbf{15}$

Step 3: Final Division

Now, divide the result of the first set by the result of the second set:

$$240 \div 15 = \mathbf{16}$$

Summary of Steps

$$\{15 \times 32 \div 2\} \div \{75 \div 5\}$$

$$\{480 \div 2\} \div \{15\}$$

$$240 \div 15 = 16$$

Final Answer:

The result is 16.
