Can you solve this math puzzle without falling for the trick? \ud83d\udc47\ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n
The Expression<\/p>\n
5 + 5 + 5 \u00f7 5<\/p>\n
To solve it correctly, we must follow the order of operations. Division is performed before addition.<\/p>\n
Step 1 \u2014 Perform the Division<\/p>\n
First, calculate:<\/p>\n
5 \u00f7 5 = 1<\/p>\n
The expression now becomes:<\/p>\n
5 + 5 + 1<\/p>\n
Step 2 \u2014 Perform the Addition<\/p>\n
Now add the remaining numbers:<\/p>\n
5 + 5 = 10<\/p>\n
Then:<\/p>\n
10 + 1 = 11<\/p>\n
\u2705 Final Answer: 11<\/p>\n
The trick is to calculate the additions first and get 15, then divide by 5. That approach is incorrect because there are no parentheses around the entire addition.<\/p>\n
Since division has priority over addition, the correct calculation is:<\/p>\n
5 + 5 + 5 \u00f7 5 = 11<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
