Put brackets in the expression below so that its value is 45.024.

1.6 + 3.8 * 2.4 * 4.2

(* = times)

It would be ( 1.6 + 3.8 ∗ 2.4 ) ∗ 4.2 = ( 1.6 + 9.12 ) ∗ 4.2 = 10.72 ∗ 4.2 = 45.024

By placing brackets around the addition part in the expression, it becomes ( 1.6 + 3.8 × 2.4 ) × 4.2 , which correctly evaluates to 45.024. This shows how brackets can change the order of operations to achieve the desired result.
