[00:00:00]What is the value of the expression 7 + 56 / 7 * (1 + 3) which option Which option do you think is the correct answer to this question?

[00:00:15]Everyone thinks this question is so easy, but it actually tricks a lot of people.

[00:00:20]Let's break it down and solve it together. Many people when solving this question first go for the expression 7 + 56 and write this expression as 63 / 7 * (1 + 3) inside the parenthesis.

[00:00:36]In the next step, they go for the division between 63 and 7. And this equation simplifies to 9 * (1 + 3) inside the parenthesis.

[00:00:47]In the final step, they tackle the expression inside the parenthesis and write it as 9 * 4, which ultimately gives them the answer 36.

[00:00:57]Then, without any hesitation, they quickly say that the correct answer to this question is option C.

[00:01:05]However, this answer is absolutely wrong.

[00:01:09]Also, some other people when solving this question first go for the parenthesis and write this equation as 7 + 56 / 7 * 4.

[00:01:21]In the next step, they go for the multiplication between 7 and 4 because they believe multiplication has priority over division.

[00:01:30]So, this equation simplifies to 7 + 56 / 28.

[00:01:36]Then, they go for the division between 56 and 28 because they think division has a higher priority than addition.

[00:01:45]And they write this equation as 7 + 2, which ultimately gives them the answer 9.

[00:01:51]And immediately, they conclude that option B is the correct answer to this question.

[00:01:59]But, I have to say we're tricked, and it's not the correct answer to this question.

[00:02:05]All right. Now, let me walk you through it step by step how to solve this expression properly.

[00:02:10]To solve this question, we must follow the PEMDAS rule. In this rule, P stands for parentheses, E stands for exponent, M stands for multiplication, D stands for division, A stands for addition, and S stands for subtraction.

[00:02:28]We must follow the order of operations step by step from top to bottom.

[00:02:33]Okay, as you can see in the image, in this expression, first we have an addition sign, then a division sign, followed by a multiplication, and finally parentheses.

[00:02:45]We must start with the parentheses first because it has the highest priority than the other operation.

[00:02:51]So, instead of this expression, we can write 7 + 56 / 7 * 4.

[00:03:00]In the next step, we need to handle the division and multiplication because multiplication and division have a higher priority than addition.

[00:03:09]However, it's really important to understand that in the PEMDAS rule, multiplication and division have the same level of priority.

[00:03:17]In this case, the best thing to do is to start from the left of the expression and move toward the right, performing division and multiplication in order.

[00:03:26]So, first we perform the division between 56 and 7. We simplify this equation to 7 + 8 * 4.

[00:03:36]In the next step, it's time for the multiplication between 8 and 4 because multiplication has priority over addition.

[00:03:45]So, instead of this expression, we can write 7 + 32, which ultimately gives us the answer 139.

[00:03:53]Therefore, option D is the correct answer to this question.
