Evaluating the Mathematical Expression
In this article, we will evaluate the mathematical expression:
0.246 + 0.8 × 0.4 × 12.5 × 2.5 + 0.754
To evaluate this expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS):
- Parentheses: None
- Exponents: None
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Evaluating the Multiplication
First, let's evaluate the multiplication part of the expression:
0.8 × 0.4 × 12.5 × 2.5
= 0.8 × 0.4 = 0.32 = 0.32 × 12.5 = 4 = 4 × 2.5 = 10
Evaluating the Addition
Now, let's evaluate the addition part of the expression:
0.246 + 10 + 0.754
= 0.246 + 10 = 10.246 = 10.246 + 0.754 = 11.000
Therefore, the final answer is:
11.000
