After interchanging the two signs × and ÷, what will be the value of the following expression?
2 + 4 ÷ 6 × 2 – 1
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 13
Write the expression with × and ÷ interchanged, then work it out by BODMAS: multiplication and division from left to right first.
After the interchange: 2 + 4 × 6 ÷ 2 – 1
\(4\times6=24\)
\(24\div2=12\)
\(2+12-1=13\)
