Could you work out an equation from a knowledge test from 1992?
Here’s a classic math puzzle from 1992 that has left many scratching their heads:
At first glance, it might look confusing, but if you follow the order of operations, the solution becomes quite simple. Let’s break it down step-by-step using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
Step-by-step solution:
- Step 1: Start with multiplication and division first.
- 1 x 0 = 0
- 3 ÷ 3 = 1
- Step 2: Now, solve the rest of the equation:
- 6 – 0 + 1 = 7
The Answer:
The answer is 7. It’s a simple equation, but the order of operations is key. How quickly were you able to solve it? Test your friends and see how fast they can get it right!
