Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
BEDMAS/PEDMAS states the order of which operation to use, and the priority:
1. brackets/parenthesis
2. exponents
3. division or multiplication
4. addition or subtraction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2³ x 8 ÷ 16
Based on the rules, exponents are higher on the list so we solve that first:
2³ x 8 ÷ 16
= 8 x 8 ÷ 16
Now we have both multiplication and division, which both have the same priority. So we do whichever comes first, which in this case multiplication comes first:
8 x 8 ÷ 16
= 64 ÷ 16
Then division:
= 64 ÷ 16
= 4
Therefore the answer is 4.
