# How do you evaluate 12div4div2?

Mar 6, 2018

The answer is $1.5$.

#### Explanation:

Since all the operations in this expression are the same, start with the leftmost part and move to the right after every step.

It ends up looking like this:

$\textcolor{w h i t e}{=} 12 \div 4 \div 2$

$= \textcolor{red}{12 \div 4} \div 2$

$= \textcolor{red}{3} \div 2$

$= \textcolor{b l u e}{3 \div 2}$

$= \textcolor{b l u e}{1.5}$
