5 + 9/3 + 4
since precedence of division is greater than addition, we calculate 9/3 first which is 3
so, 5 + 3 + 4 = 12

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!
In the order of operations you want to prioritize division over addition, so that means you start by taking 9/3 = 3
That makes the full calculation here
5 + 3 + 4
=12
