Answer:

No he's not correct.

Step-by-step explanation: Let's take a step back and look at the question, he wants to represent the difference of 12 and 7 ÷ by 25. Therefore in order to do that we need to figure out the difference 12 and 7 so the equation would look like this 12-7=5 after doing that we divide 5 by 25 so it would look like this 25÷5=5.

So the correct equation is (12-5) ÷25

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Step 1: Check to see if Connor is right

25 divided by the difference of 12 and seven

25 / (12 - 7)

Since we have a 12 and seven, that means that we have them together. However, how Connor is presenting it, it would be 25 divided by 12 subtracted 7. Therefore, Connor is incorrect.
