See a solution process below:

Using the PEDMAS order of operation, first execute the Division and Multiplication operations:

#color(red)(48) -: color(red)(6) + color(blue)(2) * color(blue)(5) => 8 + 10#

Now execute the Addition operation:

#8 + 10 = 18#

10.5

Use BODMAS to break up the question:

#(48/6) + 2.5#

First, divide 48 by 6:

#(8) + 2.5#

Then add the 2.5:

#8 + 2.5 = 10.5#
