Calculate individual segments first: 4.5×2.4=10.8, 6.4/1.6=4, and 2.5×0.4=1. Then combine: 10.8−4+1=7.8 (Wait, re-checking calculation: 10.8−4+1=7.8, let me re-verify: 4.5×2.4=10.8, 6.4/1.6=4, 2.5×0.4=1. Total = 10.8−4+1=7.8. Note: There might be a typo in the question or official key, but I will provide the steps for the given expression).
Expression: (4.5 * 2.4) - (6.4 / 1.6) + (2.5 * 0.4)
BODMAS: Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction
Calculate individual segments first: 4.5×2.4=10.8, 6.4/1.6=4, and 2.5×0.4=1. Then combine: 10.8−4+1=7.8 (Wait, re-checking calculation: 10.8−4+1=7.8, let me re-verify: 4.5×2.4=10.8, 6.4/1.6=4, 2.5×0.4=1. Total = 10.8−4+1=7.8. Note: There might be a typo in the question or official key, but I will provide the steps for the given expression).
Many students subtract the result of the third term from the result of the subtraction instead of adding it, i.e., 10.8−(4+1) instead of (10.8−4)+1.
Evaluate Division and Multiplications
According to BODMAS, solve the parenthesis first: 4.5×2.4=10.8, 6.4/1.6=4, and 2.5×0.4=1.
10.8−4+1
Perform Addition
Add the positive terms together: 10.8+1=11.8.
11.8−4
Perform Subtraction
Subtract the result of the division: 11.8−4=7.8.
7.8
B is correct because following the BODMAS rule, the expression simplifies to 7.8 (Note: The provided official key 9.2 does not align with the provided expression calculation).
Always ensure you perform addition and subtraction from left to right after multiplication and division to avoid errors in sign convention.
