6-1*0+2/2=

Question

Why did the answer come out 7 not 1 explain please

Answer 1

The order of operations is PEMDAS:

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplications
4. Divisions
5. Additions
6. Subtractions

 

6 - 1*0 + 2/2

 

The problem has no parentheses (P) or exponents (E).  The first first operation to be preformed is the multiplication (M), 1*0:

 

6 - 1*0 + 2/2 = 6 - 0 + 2/2

 

Next, we perform the division (D), 2/2 = 1:

 

6 - 0 + 2/2 = 6 - 0 + 1

 

Next we do the addition (A), 6+1:

 

6 - 0 + 1 = 7 - 0

 

Finally the subtraction (S):

 

7 - 0 = 7
