Problem

Evaluate the expression (7 divided by 1) plus (8 times 3)

Answer

31

Step-by-step solution

  1. Evaluate the expression inside the first parenthesis: The expression is $7 \div 1$. Division by 1 does not change the number. So, $7 \div 1 = 7$.
  2. Evaluate the expression inside the second parenthesis: The expression is $8 \times 3$. This is a multiplication. $8 \times 3 = 24$.
  3. Add the results from the two parentheses: Now we add the results from step 1 and step 2. This is $7 + 24$. $7 + 24 = 31$.
