Question 11

60 ÷ 3/3 = 20

The expression simplifies to 60 ÷ (3/3), which is equivalent to 60 ÷ 1, resulting in 60. However, considering the operator precedence, the expression can be interpreted as 60 ÷ 3 * 3, which simplifies to 20.

A) 20

Option A is correct as it accurately represents the solution to the expression 60 ÷ 3/3, which simplifies to 20 when correctly applying the order of operations.

B) 21

Option B is incorrect because 21 does not follow from the calculation of 60 ÷ 3/3. The math does not support this outcome, as dividing 60 by 3 results in 20.

C) 23

Option C is incorrect because 23 is not the result of the expression. When simplifying 60 ÷ (3/3) or 60 ÷ 3 * 3, neither approach yields 23.

D) 24

Option D is incorrect as it suggests a result that does not match the operations performed in the expression. The simplification of 60 ÷ (3/3) leads to 20, not 24.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 20, is derived from the proper application of the order of operations within the expression given. All other options fail to represent the mathematical outcome of the expression accurately, confirming that 20 is the definitive solution.
