Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of operations (PEMDAS) requires that multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction. Therefore, 2/2 is evaluated first, resulting in 1. Then, multiplication and subtraction are performed from left to right, resulting in 9*2=18 and 18-8=10. Finally, addition is performed and the expression becomes 10 > 5+1. The relational operator ">" is evaluated last, and the whole expression evaluates to True.
