Question

What is the value of the expression?

6 + 18 divided by 3 x 4

Use PEMDAS and explain why.

Answer 1

PARENTHESIS
EXPONENTS
MULTIPLICATION
DIVISION
ADDITION
SUBTRACTION

(6+18)÷3×4 Parenthesis goes first so:
24÷3×4 Multiplication next:
24÷12 Division last:
=2 So basically you follow PEMDAS and you have to know whether the problem has parenthesis or not. Hope this helps!!!
