If + is *, - is + , * is / and / is - , then \( 6-9+8 * 3 / 20 \) is
Step-by-step Solution:
This puzzle requires us to first substitute the mathematical operators with their new meanings and then solve the resulting expression using the standard order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS).
The given substitutions are:
Applying these to the original expression 6 - 9 + 8 * 3 / 20, we get the new expression:
6 + 9 * 8 / 3 - 20
Now, we solve the new expression following the standard order of operations (doing multiplication and division before addition and subtraction):
6 + (9 * 8) / 3 - 20
= 6 + 72 / 3 - 20
= 6 + 24 - 20
= 30 - 20
= 10
Final Answer: The value of the expression is 10.
