Math Problem Statement

1+2+3*4

Solution

The correct way to solve this expression is to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

  1. Multiplication first:
    34=123 * 4 = 12

  2. Addition next:
    1+2+12=151 + 2 + 12 = 15

So, the result of 1+2+341 + 2 + 3 * 4 is 15.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What is the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)?
  2. How would the result change if you added parentheses: (1+2+3)4(1 + 2 + 3) * 4?
  3. Can you explain how the distributive property works in a similar expression?
  4. What happens if you reverse the order of operations?
  5. How would this expression change with division instead of multiplication?

Tip: Always handle multiplication and division before addition and subtraction to avoid errors in solving expressions.
