Did you get it right?
The equation is 252 / (10 + 4) + 6 x 7.
The Answer
The correct answer is: 60.
Here is why
- Finish the parentheses first: 10 + 4 = 14.
- Then divide: 252 / 14 = 18.
- Then multiply: 6 x 7 = 42.
- Add the two results: 18 + 42 = 60.
Why people miss it
The common mistake is adding too early instead of doing the parentheses, division, and multiplication in order.
