00:00Welcome everyone. So today we are going to understand why the answer for this question is not supposed to be 1.
00:07Lot of people thought that this is what 2 multiplied by 4 that gets you 8 divided by we have 4 multiplied by 2 which gets you 8.
00:15And 8 divided by 8 answer gets you 1. That my dear friends is incorrect.
00:20The very reason for that is that division and multiplication hold equal precedence.
00:25So in sums like these you will go from left to right. Whatever operation comes first from your left hand side has to be done first.
00:33So we have 2 multiplied by 4 which is 8 divided by 4 multiplied by 2.
00:39Here also I will stick to the same rule. So whatever operation happens first from your left hand side has to be done first.
00:44So we have 8 divided by 4 that gets you 2 multiplied by 2. Answer for this question is supposed to be 4.
00:51I hope you have understood how to solve these kind of problems.
00:56That's it for today. I will see you in the next video.
