Evening all, I am more or less familiar with the order of precedence but this one confuses me and I have an exam tomorrow so yer :d....
Ok so, 6-2/2+5
Is it:
2/2 = 1
1+5 = 6
6-2 = 4
then 4+6 = 10
The part that confused me is once you have in step 3 the value 4 then you just add what ever is left in the equation to the total ?
(2/2) = 1 division is performed first(6-(1)) = 5 + and - have equal precedence, so we go left to right, hence 6 - (2/2) is done first(5)+5 = 10 finish it by doing addition
