Solve the Expression: 3+10-2:4+1 Using Order of Operations

Question

$3+10-2:4+1=$

00:08 Remember, multiplication and division come first, before addition and subtraction.

00:21 Now, we only have addition and subtraction left to solve.

00:25 Since addition and subtraction are equal in the order of operations, we solve them from left to right.

00:31 Let's break down the denominator of the fraction into multiplication.

00:40 Now, let's reduce the fraction.

00:45 Keep solving the addition and subtraction, moving from left to right.

00:53 And that's the solution! Great job!

According to the order of arithmetic operations, multiplication and division precede addition and subtraction,

Therefore, let's start first with the division operation:

$3+10-(2:4)+1=3+10-\frac{1}{2}+1$

Now, as all remaining operations are at the same level (addition and subtraction),

let's start solving from left to right:

$3+10-\frac{1}{2}+1=13-\frac{1}{2}+1$

$13-\frac{1}{2}+1=12\frac{1}{2}+1=13\frac{1}{2}$

$13\frac{1}{2}$
