10 x 4 - 2 x (8 ÷ 4) ÷ 2 ÷ 0.5 + 9 OK, following the rules of bedmas, we will do the brackets first. 8 ÷ 4 is 2.
10 x 4 - 2 x 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 0.5 + 9 alright, now we will do the division second. 2 x 2 ÷ 2 is 2 again, and then 2 ÷ 0.5 is 4.
10 x 4 - 4 + 9 It's getting smaller, see? now we do 10 x 4. which is 40.
40 - 4 + 9 now we can go left to right. 40 - 4 is 46, plus nine is... 45!!!
there's your answer.
