Question

Using the correct order of operations, which computation should you make first?

2+7÷4+1×12−4÷2

A. 2 + 7
B. 4/2
C. 1 x 12
D. 7/4
E. 4 + 1

Answer 1

7/4

Explanation:

in PEMDAS

multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction.

otherwise we just read left to right.

could be written

2 + (7/4) + (1 x 12) - (4 / 2)

2 + 1.75 + 12 - 2

13.75
