Simple matters of addition are usually considered child’s play. What if you arrange a couple of laughably easy equations in a specific order and then add a logical question to them? Then they can become real puzzlers.
Take a look at the math puzzle below and see what you’re doing with it. Also, check the clock before you start. How fast can you do this?
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 figure out the solution to this mathematics quiz without a calculator?
Okay, now onto the challenge itself.
In the picture below, we see a mathematics problem made for middle schoolers.
The challenge: are you able to solve it without a calculator?
Remember the order of operations. What part should you solve first?
Think about it carefully so you answer correctly!
Below the next picture, you will find the correct answer.
A
B
C
Here’s the answer.
Apply the order of operations (multiplication first):
8×8−2+6
8×8=64
64−2=62
62+6=68
Final answer: 68
Did you get it right? Congratulations!
