Problem

Evaluate the expression 8 x (6 / 6)

Answer

8

Step-by-step solution

  1. Parentheses First: According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we must solve the expression inside the parentheses first. The expression inside the parentheses is $6 \div 6$.

$6 \div 6 = 1$

  1. Multiplication: Now, substitute the result from the parentheses back into the original expression. The expression becomes $8 \times 1$.

$8 \times 1 = 8$
