This math problem may seem simple but it is driving the internet crazy! (PS: If you are going to solve it correctly, you are going to have to remember the order of operations.) What to solve first, and what last.
Time to see how much you remember.
Below you’ll find the problem.
Do you remember how to do the calculation? If not, we’ll show you the answer after the picture below.
A
B
C
Here is the correct answer
Remember your PEMDAS order of operations.
What do you think the answer is?
If you used the PEMDAS rule you would have to do the question in the parentheses first, which is 8 ÷ 4, which equals 2.
Then you must shift over to the left equation and do 24 ÷ 4= 6.
Then you have to multiply 6 x 2 which equals 12 and there is your answer!
The correct answer is 12.
The solution is relatively easy to come up with. However, you must start by calculating the multiplication – and It’s pretty common to forget where to start from.
Did you solve it on your own?
Do you have what it takes to solve this math problem – for 11-year-olds?
Can you solve this tricky math problem using nothing but regular school math?
Classic brain training methods are perhaps puzzles like crosswords or sudoku, but in recent times I have become more and more attracted to the type of challenge you’ll see below.
These types of puzzles have been flooding the web lately, probably because they are really fun!
These are old classic mathematical problems. When you were in middle or high school.
These tests are more fun when you find yourself trying to remember the math you learned as a child.
Can you find the correct number?
Okay, here comes the challenge.
In the picture below, you will face a math problem, and there are three different possible solutions you can pick from.
Which of the answers do you think is right?
A
B
C
D
E
ANSWER:
You have to first, as I said, figure out the order of operations.
Should you just solve everything from left to right?
Well, no. Not really.
You must solve the multiplication before the addition.
Now, on the other hand, after solving that part – you can actually solve the rest from left to right.
In conclusion, it becomes very simple – and now I think you know the answer!
Below you can see the solution!
The answer is 3.
