What mistake was made when applying the the steps of PEMDAS , and what is the correct answer
8 divided by 2^3 -16 divided by 2
4^3-16 divided by 2
48 divided by 2 = 24
what mistake was made, and what is the right answer?

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

8/2^3-16/2

8/8-16/2

1-16/2

1-8

-7

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
