1 answer

To solve the expression \( 36 \div 6 \cdot 2 + 1 \), we apply the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS):

  1. Division and Multiplication from left to right:

    • First, calculate \( 36 \div 6 \): \[ 36 \div 6 = 6 \]

    • Next, multiply the result by \( 2 \): \[ 6 \cdot 2 = 12 \]

  2. Now add \( 1 \): \[ 12 + 1 = 13 \]

Therefore, the expression \( 36 \div 6 \cdot 2 + 1 \) is equal to \( \boxed{13} \).
