Hi TEVRAT, let's solve this viral math problem together. It looks simple, but order of operations is key here.
Order of Operations (PEMDAS / BODMAS)
First, let's write down the expression clearly on our board.
To solve this correctly, we must follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronyms PEMDAS or BODMAS.
1. Parentheses / Brackets
2. Exponents / Orders
3. Multiplication and Division (left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (left to right)
Step one is to handle the parentheses. Inside, we have one plus two.
One plus two equals three. So we replace that part of the expression.
Now, the expression is six divided by two, times three. Many people get stuck here thinking multiplication comes before division, but they actually have the same priority.
