Question

Which of the following is equal to 2?

A. 6 + 4 ÷ (2 + 1) × 3
B. (6 + 4 ÷ 2) – 1 × 3
C. 6 + (4 ÷ 2) + 1 × 3
D. (6 + 4) ÷ 2 – 1 × 3

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Start with the values inside parentheses.

6 + 4 = 10

10 / 2 = 5

Then subtract 1*3.

5 - 3 = 2

*B is incorrect because according to order of operations, 4/2 should be calculated before adding 6.
