The order of operations (PEMDAS) dictates that multiplication and division should be done before addition and subtraction. However, in this expression, there are no parentheses or exponents to consider, so we move left to right. Therefore, first we evaluate 9 * 2, which equals 18. Then we evaluate 2 / 2, which equals 1. Next, we add 5 and 1, which equals 6. Finally, we subtract 8 from 18, which equals 10. The last step is to compare 10 to 6 using the > operator, which evaluates to true. Therefore, the operator that is evaluated last is the > operator.
