Evaluate the given expression:
42 ÷ 7 × 2
12
Evaluating the Mathematical Expression 42 ÷ 7 × 2
This solution explains how to solve the given mathematical expression using the standard order of operations.
Order of Operations Rule
To correctly evaluate expressions containing multiplication and division, we use the order of operations (often remembered by acronyms like BODMAS or PEMDAS). These operations have the same priority, so we solve them from left to right as they appear in the expression.
- Multiplication and division are performed from left to right.
Calculation Steps
Let's evaluate the expression: \( 42 \div 7 \times 2 \)
Step 1: Perform Division
Following the left-to-right rule, we first perform the division:
\( 42 \div 7 = 6 \)
Step 2: Perform Multiplication
Now, we multiply the result of the division by 2:
\( 6 \times 2 = 12 \)
Final Answer
The value of the expression \( 42 \div 7 \times 2 \) is 12.
