$$(1.5 \cdot 16+1 \cdot 4-2.5 \cdot 2.56) \div 2$$

Evaluate

$$10.8$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1.5 and 16 to get 24.

$$\frac{24+1\times 4-2.5\times 2.56}{2}$$

Multiply 1 and 4 to get 4.

$$\frac{24+4-2.5\times 2.56}{2}$$

Add 24 and 4 to get 28.

$$\frac{28-2.5\times 2.56}{2}$$

Multiply 2.5 and 2.56 to get 6.4.

$$\frac{28-6.4}{2}$$

Subtract 6.4 from 28 to get 21.6.
