Evaluate: $16 + 20 \div 4 - 3 \times 4$

The correct answer is
9

Evaluate Mathematical Expression Using Order of Operations

To evaluate the expression $16 + 20 \div 4 - 3 \times 4$, we follow the standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Applying PEMDAS/BODMAS Rules

  1. Division: First, calculate the division part.
    $20 \div 4 = 5$
  2. Multiplication: Next, calculate the multiplication part.
    $3 \times 4 = 12$
  3. Substitute Results: Replace the division and multiplication parts with their results in the expression.
    $16 + 5 - 12$
  4. Addition: Now, perform addition from left to right.
    $16 + 5 = 21$
  5. Subtraction: Finally, perform the subtraction.
    $21 - 12 = 9$

Conclusion

The final result of the evaluation is 9.
