PEMDAS Rule Application: Order of operations (PEMDAS): Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, and division (from left to right). Addition and subtraction (from left to right). We have: 12−16÷(4×2). As per PEMDAS, we should first deal with the operations inside the parentheses.
Multiplication Inside Parentheses: Inside the parentheses, we have a multiplication operation. Multiply: 4 by 2. 4×2=8.
Replace Multiplication Result: Now, we replace the multiplication result back into the expression. The expression 12−16÷(4×2) becomes 12−16÷8.
Division Before Subtraction: Next, according to PEMDAS, we perform the division before subtraction. Divide: 16 by 8. 16÷8=2.
Replace Division Result: Replace the division result back into the expression. The expression 12−16÷8 becomes 12−2.
Final Subtraction: Finally, perform the subtraction. Subtract: 12 minus 2. 12−2=10.
