You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.
Division first, so 64 divided by 8 is 8 and divided by 8 again is 1.
In this instance, work straight across.
PEMDAS
parentheses (none)
exponents (none)
multiplication (none)
division (yes). Division is first, and the rule here is that 64 divided by 8 with no parentheses exponents or multiplication is done first. Then that result is subject to the same rules, and again division is first.
If it were 64 divided by (8 divided by 8), then the answer is 1, because parentheses are first. No parentheses are given in the problem.
