We can rewrite this as
38 divided by (34 -13) divided by 25
simplifying the middle term by evaluating the subtraction
(34−13)=9−412=512
Thus, the division can be rewritten as
38 divided by 512 divided by 25
As per PEMDAS or BODMAS, we move from left to right and perform the division.
We can divide the first term by the subsequent terms or
we can also multiply the first term with the reciprocal of the subsequent terms turning
38 divided by 512 divided by 25 into
38×125×52
=94=2.25
The correct answer is Choice A
