Can you figure out the solution for 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.
The correct answer is 11.
How do we know that 11 is the right answer?
To begin with, we need to solve the part inside the parenthesis, 12 ÷ 4 + 1, which equals 4.
After that, the problem looks like this: 15 – 1 x 4. So the next step is to calculate the multiplication, which equals 4.
So the problem now is 15 – 4, which totals 11.
The answer is then 11.
Did you get it right? Congratulations!
