11. What is the value of the expression below? * \[ \frac{47+(15 \div 3)}{2} \] 46

To solve the expression, first handle the operation inside the parentheses: \(15 \div 3 = 5\). Then substitute this back into the expression to get: \[ \frac{47 + 5}{2} = \frac{52}{2} = 26 \]. So the correct value of the expression is 26, not 46! One common mistake in evaluating expressions is forgetting the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). Always remember to address parentheses and division before addition or subtraction! This small oversight can lead to incorrect results, so be sure to double-check your calculations to avoid such errors.
