Evaluate the expression: PEMDAS! 24÷6x2
Correct Answer
2Explanation
The given expression involves the concept of order of operations, which is represented by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right). According to this rule, we first evaluate any multiplication or division from left to right before moving on to addition or subtraction. In this case, we divide 24 by 6 to get 4, and then multiply it by 2 to get the final answer of 8. Therefore, the given answer of 2 is incorrect.Rate this question:
