Select the statement that describes this expression: 8 + fraction 1 over 2 x (6 − 2) − 1. (2 points) 8 more than half the difference of 2 and 1, and then subtract 6 Add 8 to half the difference of 6 and 2, then subtract 1 The sum of 8 and fraction 1 over 2 times 6 plus 2 minus 1 1 less than half of 6 plus the sum of 8 and 2

Add 8 to half the difference of 6 and 2, then subtract 1

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + fraction 1 over 2 x (6 − 2) − 1.

The above is expressed mathematically as:

8 + 1/2(6 - 2) - 1

Therefore, the statement that describes this expression from the options given correctly is :

Add 8 to half the difference of 6 and 2, then subtract 1

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
