The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression `124 div 32 - 8 + 2 xx 11` with the given meanings of the symbols, we will follow these steps: 1. **Identify the meanings of the symbols**: - `+` means `xx` (multiplication) - `div` means `+` (addition) - `xx` means `-` (subtraction) - `-` means `div` (division) 2. **Rewrite the expression using the new meanings**: The expression `124 div 32 - 8 + 2 xx 11` can be rewritten as: - `124 + 32 ÷ 8 + 2 - 11` 3. **Follow the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS)**: According to the order of operations, we first handle division, then multiplication, followed by addition and subtraction. 4. **Perform the division**: - Calculate `32 ÷ 8`: \[ 32 ÷ 8 = 4 \] So now the expression becomes: \[ 124 + 4 + 2 - 11 \] 5. **Perform the addition**: - Calculate `124 + 4`: \[ 124 + 4 = 128 \] Now the expression is: \[ 128 + 2 - 11 \] 6. **Perform the next addition**: - Calculate `128 + 2`: \[ 128 + 2 = 130 \] Now the expression is: \[ 130 - 11 \] 7. **Perform the final subtraction**: - Calculate `130 - 11`: \[ 130 - 11 = 119 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{119} \]
