$$\huge \frac{\frac{24}{(6 + 2)^4} + 1}{\frac{2^4}{2}}$$
Like that?

anonymous · Answer

um, Thats not how it was written out, but it has the right numbers.

anonymous · Answer

It was just like how I typed it accept when it says 'divided by' those are supposed to be division signs

johnweldon1993 · Answer

$$\huge \frac{(\frac{24}{(6 + 2)})^4 + 1}{\frac{2^4}{2}}$$

That? lol I'm trying to figue out how it was written

johnweldon1993 · Answer

Well I'm going to assume that is the correct way since I do receive one of the answer choices available...

So we can begin by simplifying the top...

what is 24/(6 + 2)     .....24 / 8 = ?

anonymous · Answer

3

johnweldon1993 · Answer

Right...and 3^4 = ?      3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = ?

anonymous · Answer

81

johnweldon1993 · Answer

And then add the 1....81 + 1 = 82...

okay that is the top..

Now the bottom

johnweldon1993 · Answer

What is 2^4?    2 x 2 x 2 x 2?

anonymous · Answer

16 but then I divided by 2 and got 8 so would i divide 81 and 8?

johnweldon1993 · Answer

82/8    Dont forget that you added the 1 to the 81

anonymous · Answer

oh yeah I forgot that '.' But I got 10.25 for the final answer, is that right?

johnweldon1993 · Answer
