Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve
00:03 Always solve multiplication and division before addition and subtraction
00:10 Solve one operation at a time and then continue
00:14 Now let's calculate the division and only then continue
00:20 Continue solving from left to right
00:25 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations rules, we first insert the multiplication and division exercises into parentheses:

(24:2)4(3:3)= (24:2)-4-(3:3)=

Let's solve the exercises in parentheses:

24:2=12 24:2=12

3:3=1 3:3=1

Now we have the expression:

1241= 12-4-1=

Let's solve the expression from left to right:

124=8 12-4=8

81=7 8-1=7

Answer
