1

Understand the problem

24:8:3+262+19=? 24:8:3+2\cdot6\cdot2+19=\text{?}

2

Step-by-step solution

According to the rules for the order of operations, we will place multiplication and division exercises in parentheses:

(24:8:3)+(262)+19= (24:8:3)+(2\cdot6\cdot2)+19=

We solve the division exercises in parentheses from left to right:

24:8=3 24:8=3

3:3=1 3:3=1

We solve the multiplication exercises in parentheses from left to right:

2×6=12 2\times6=12

12×2=24 12\times2=24

Now we get the exercise:

1+24+19= 1+24+19=

We solve the exercise from left to right:

1+24=25 1+24=25

25+19=44 25+19=44

3

Final Answer

44

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Rule: Follow PEMDAS - multiplication and division before addition
  • Technique: Solve 24:8:3 left to right: 24÷8=3, then 3÷3=1
  • Check: Final calculation 1+24+19=44 matches the correct answer ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Solving operations left to right without considering precedence
    Don't solve 24:8:3+2·6·2+19 straight left to right = 1+2·6·2+19 = wrong order! This ignores multiplication/division precedence and gives incorrect results. Always complete all multiplication and division operations first, then handle addition.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why do I need to solve 24:8:3 before adding 19?

+

Order of operations (PEMDAS) requires you to complete all multiplication and division before addition. Think of it like clearing parentheses first!

Should I solve 24:8:3 all at once or step by step?

+

Always work left to right for division: first 24÷8=3 24÷8=3 , then 3÷3=1 3÷3=1 . Don't try to divide 24 by both 8 and 3 at once!

What if I get a different answer like 52 or 255?

+

These wrong answers usually come from incorrect order of operations. Double-check that you completed all multiplication and division first before adding 19.

Is there a difference between : and ÷ symbols?

+

No difference at all! The colon (:) and division sign (÷) mean exactly the same thing. Both represent division operations.

How can I remember the correct order?

+
  • Parentheses
  • Exponents
  • Multiplication and Division (left to right)
  • Addition and Subtraction (left to right)
