You should complete multiplication and division in the order they occur. The answer is it depends (however, they may be looking for not).

When using the order of operations you should always complete multiplication before division.


order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Mutiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) says you do M before D no matter which comes first in the equation.
