Problem

Evaluate the expression (10 / 10) * (9 + 7)

Answer

16

Step-by-step solution

1. Evaluate the expression inside the first parenthesis: The expression inside the first parenthesis is $10 \div 10$. Performing the division, we get $10 \div 10 = 1$.
2. Evaluate the expression inside the second parenthesis: The expression inside the second parenthesis is $9 + 7$. Performing the addition, we get $9 + 7 = 16$.
3. Multiply the results from the two parentheses: Now we multiply the result from the first parenthesis (1) by the result from the second parenthesis (16). So, $1 \times 16 = 16$.
