Question

60/5(7-5)=2

I got 24, but some other people got 6.

60/5(7-5) - P
60/5(2) - M/D (left to right)
12(2) - M/D (left to right)
=24

Answer 1

The expression we have is:
60 / [5(7-5)]

Now, we have a certain order of operations that we need to follows:
first we will get rid of the brackets and then we will solve the division

We have 2 brackets here to get rid of,
for the first bracket, we have 7-5 which is equal to 2
The expression now becomes:
60 / [5(2)]
We have 5(2) = 10
So the expression now is:
60 / 10

We will finally do the division:
60/10 = 6
