7 is subtracted from the quotient of 48 divided by sum of 5 and difference of 11 and 8
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
Let’s break this down step by step:
Step 1: Find the sum of 5 and the difference of 11 and 8.
- The difference between 11 and 8 is:
11−8=311 – 8 = 311−8=3 - The sum of 5 and 3 is:
5+3=85 + 3 = 85+3=8
Step 2: Divide 48 by the result of the sum.
- Now, we divide 48 by 8:
48÷8=648 ÷ 8 = 648÷8=6
Step 3: Subtract 7 from the quotient.
- Finally, subtract 7 from the quotient 6:
6−7=−16 – 7 = -16−7=−1
So, the correct answer is -1.
Explanation:
In this problem, you were asked to first perform operations inside the parentheses. These operations are the sum of 5 and the difference of 11 and 8. Once we calculated the sum (which was 8), we used it to divide 48, resulting in a quotient of 6. The final operation was to subtract 7 from this quotient, which gives the answer -1.
