Math Problem Statement
42÷5×4÷6
Solution
To solve the expression , follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which prioritizes division and multiplication from left to right.
Step-by-Step Calculation:
-
First, perform the division:
-
Next, multiply the result by 4:
-
Finally, divide by 6:
So, the result of is 5.6.
Would you like more details on how this works, or do you have any further questions? Here are some related questions to explore:
- How would the result change if parentheses were added, such as ?
- What happens if we replace the division by 5 with multiplication by 5 in the same expression?
- How do the results differ when using integer division (i.e., rounding to whole numbers)?
- How do you evaluate more complex expressions with multiple operations?
- What is the impact of changing the order of multiplication and division in multi-step problems?
Tip: Remember that division and multiplication are of equal priority, so always work from left to right when solving expressions with both!
