Solve the Expression: 1+2×3-7÷4 Using Order of Operations

$1+2\times3-7:4=$

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we must first enclose both the multiplication and division exercises inside of parentheses:

$1+(2\times3)-(7:4)=$

We then solve the exercises within the parentheses:

$2\times3=6$

$7:4=\frac{7}{4}$

We obtain the following:

$1+6-\frac{7}{4}=$

We continue by solving the exercise from left to right:

$1+6=7$

$7-\frac{7}{4}=$

Lastly we break down the numerator of the fraction with a sum exercise as seen below:

$7-(\frac{4+3}{4})$

$7-(\frac{4}{4}+\frac{3}{4})$

$7-(1+\frac{3}{4})$

$7-1\frac{3}{4}=5\frac{1}{4}$
