Use the order of operations to simplify: 6/3 +4÷2+4/4 .(1 point)

1 answer

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.
