Simplify 5+36 divided by 3 times 6

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 5 + \frac{36}{3} \times 6 \), we need to follow the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right).

  1. First, divide \( 36 \) by \( 3 \): \[ \frac{36}{3} = 12 \]

  2. Next, multiply \( 12 \) by \( 6 \): \[ 12 \times 6 = 72 \]

  3. Now add \( 5 \) to the result: \[ 5 + 72 = 77 \]

So, the simplified expression is \( \boxed{77} \).
