Question

Is the calculation for the question: Write an expression for the calculation. Double the number 6 and then subtract 36 divided by 12. Is the answer 6 x 2 - 36 ÷ 12?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Yes the answer is 6 x 2 - 36 ÷ 12 and it is correct. Although you could change this arithmetic expression by adding parenthesis to make it easier to read and know which operations come first, like so...

(6 x 2) - (36 ÷ 12)

This would make it easier to see that the 6x2 must be done first and then the 36/12 before doing the subtraction.
