Here is the challenge, in the picture below.
At the top of the picture, we see the task and then three possible answers.
Which solution do you think is the correct one?
Are you smart enough to solve it?
To make it a little easier, we thought it was only fair to give you a few options – so you have A, B, or C.
To get the right answer, one has to remember the order in which they should solve things.
A
B
C
Time for the answer
First of all, we need to start with solving the multiplication in the brackets
7 (7- 6)
Then you solve the equation within the brackets
7 (1)
Now you can continue with solving the multiplication:
7 x 1 =
Now you have the solution to the equation: It’s 7
The answer is: 7, option B
Did you get it right? Congratulations!
Don’t be too sure you’re able to solve this math problem – many wiseacres get it wrong
Solve the math problem – without a calculator
Okay, to the challenge.
Below we see a picture with a math problem.
Can you solve it without a calculator – what answer will you come up with?
How was it? Take your time and concentrate! Below you will see the correct answer.
A
B
C
Here is the solution to this math problem
The answer is 104.
Why is 104 the correct answer? You might ask.
For starters, we have to calculate the multiplication, 25 x 0, which becomes 0.
Then we have the number 50 + 50 – 0 + 2 + 2 which is 104.
So again, the answer is 104.
Did you get it right? Congratulations on that case!
