To simplify the expression using the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS), we need to follow the rules:
1. Parentheses (simplify any expressions within parentheses)
2. Exponents (evaluate any exponential expressions)
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Given expression: 6/3 + 4÷2 + 4/4
Following the order of operations, we first evaluate the division, from left to right:
6/3 = 2
Next, the expression becomes:
2 + 4÷2 + 4/4
Again, performing the division from left to right:
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The expression now becomes:
2 + 2 + 4/4
Lastly, evaluating the division:
4/4 = 1
The final expression is:
2 + 2 + 1
From here, we perform the addition from left to right:
2 + 2 = 4
And finally:
4 + 1 = 5
Therefore, the simplified expression is 5.
Use the order of operations to simplify: 6/3 +4÷2+4/4 .(1 point)
