Question

Consider the following tree diagram:  Which arithmetic expression is represented by this tree?
A) 2 $\times$ 3 + 5 + 4 $\times$ 6 - 1 
B) 2 $\times$ 3 + 5 + 4 - 6 - 1 
C) 2 $\times$ (3 + 5 + 4) $\times$ (6 - 1) 
D) [(2 $\times$ 3) + 5 + 4] $\times$ (6 - 1)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tree starts with multiplication of 2 and 3, then addition of 5 and 4, then subtraction of 6 and 1. The correct order of operations would be to evaluate 2 multiplied by 3 first, then add 5 and 4, and subtract the result from 6. This is represented in choice D.
