Open in App

Solution

Given
$(- 3) \times (- 12) \div (- 6) - 5$
According to BODMAS rule, we need to calculate the division first
$\Rightarrow$ $(- 3) \times (- 12) \div (- 6) - 5$ $= (- 3) \times [(- 12) \div (- 6)] - 5$
$\Rightarrow$ $(- 3) \times (- 12) \div (- 6) - 5$ $= (- 3) \times 2 - 5$
$\Rightarrow$ $(- 3) \times (- 12) \div (- 6) - 5$ $= [(- 3) \times 2] - 5$
$\Rightarrow$ $(- 3) \times (- 12) \div (- 6) - 5$ $= - 6 - 5$
$∴$ $(- 3) \times (- 12) \div (- 6) - 5$ $= - 11$
Hence, the correct answer is $- 11$
