Basic Algebra
Hey, my mom and I are arguing over the answer to this simple math question. Help us out. What's the answer?
4 * 3 / 3 * 2 = ?
This isn't a fraction, and "3 / 3" is not a fraction. I would use that little sign with the line with a dot on the top and bottom, but I don't know how to make it.
I think the answer is 8. She insists it's 2. I thought order of operations says that it goes left to right with multiplication or division. She says that you multiply on each side of the division sign first, though. Can anyone verify this?
Thanks,
Ramzi
