Solution:
1. Given expression: 8 + 5 \times 4 \div 2 \times 6 \div 5
2. Follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
- First, perform multiplication and division from left to right.
3. Evaluate 5 \times 4:
* 5 \times 4 = 20
4. Evaluate 20 \div 2:
* 20 \div 2 = 10
5. Evaluate 10 \times 6:
* 10 \times 6 = 60
6. Evaluate 60 \div 5:
* 60 \div 5 = 12
7. Add the result to 8:
* 8 + 12 = 20
The simplified value of the expression is 20.
