The task involves solving a series of mathematical expressions using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) and matching them to their correct values. The expressions are presented on red triangles, and the goal is to find the correct value for each expression and place it in the corresponding position on the green puzzle.
Here are the solutions for each expression:
1.
(9 + 7 - 6) × 4
- First, solve inside the parentheses: 9 + 7 = 16, then 16 - 6 = 10.
- Then multiply: 10 × 4 = 40.
-
Answer: 40
2.
4 × (9 + 1) - 25
- Solve inside the parentheses: 9 + 1 = 10.
- Multiply: 4 × 10 = 40.
- Subtract: 40 - 25 = 15.
-
Answer: 15
3.
(10 + 5) - (9 + 2)
- Solve inside the parentheses: 10 + 5 = 15, 9 + 2 = 11.
- Subtract: 15 - 11 = 4.
-
Answer: 4
4.
54 ÷ (9 - 6)
- Solve inside the parentheses: 9 - 6 = 3.
- Divide: 54 ÷ 3 = 18.
-
Answer: 18
5.
1 + 3 × 3 - 8
- Multiply first: 3 × 3 = 9.
- Then: 1 + 9 = 10, then 10 - 8 = 2.
-
Answer: 2
6.
(9 + 7) × 4
- Solve inside the parentheses: 9 + 7 = 16.
- Multiply: 16 × 4 = 64.
-
Answer: 64
7.
4 × (9 + 1) - 25
- This is the same as expression 2: 4 × 10 = 40, 40 - 25 = 15.
-
Answer: 15
8.
(10 + 5) - (9 + 2)
- This is the same as expression 3: 15 - 11 = 4.
-
Answer: 4
9.
(9 + 7 - 6) × 4
- This is the same as expression 1: 10 × 4 = 40.
-
Answer: 40
10.
54 ÷ (9 - 6)
- This is the same as expression 4: 54 ÷ 3 = 18.
-
Answer: 18
11.
1 + 3 × 3 - 8
- This is the same as expression 5: 1 + 9 - 8 = 2.
-
Answer: 2
12.
(9 + 7) × 4
- This is the same as expression 6: 16 × 4 = 64.
-
Answer: 64
Note: The expressions and their answers are repeated. The key is to match each expression to its correct numerical value using the order of operations.
