A. 2
B. 5
C. 0
D. None of these

Answer 1

150 ÷ (6 + 3 x 8) - 5
= 150 ÷ (72) - 5 ( using Bodmas rule )
= 150 ÷ 67
= 2.2
Rounding of to the nearest ones 2 is the right answer.

Answer 2

Given,

• 150 ÷ (6 + 3 x 8) - 5 is given.

To find,

• We have to simplify the given expression.

Solution,

The given expression 150 ÷ (6 + 3 x 8) - 5 can be simplified as (c) 0.

We can simply solve the given expression by using the BODMAS rule.

The BODMAS rule states that a bracket must be solved first then division, multiplication, addition, and in the last subtraction is solved.

                             =   150 ÷ (6 + 3 x 8) - 5

Solving bracket first in the given expression, we get

                             =    150 ÷ (6 + 3 x 8) - 5

                             =     150 ÷ (6 + 24) -5

                             =    150 ÷ (30) -5

Now in the second step, solving division , we get

                             =  5 -5

In the last step, solving subtraction, we get

                             = 0

∴ The expression 150 ÷ (6 + 3 x 8) - 5 can be simplified as 0.

Hence, the given expression 150 ÷ (6 + 3 x 8) - 5 can be simplified as (c) 0.
