A Classic Math Trick Most People Get Wrong
The expression is:
80 ÷ 1/2 × 4
At first glance, many people rush and make a mistake. Let’s solve it correctly step by step.
Step 1: Understand the order of operations
Division and multiplication are solved from left to right.
Step 2: Solve the division first
80 ÷ 1/2
Dividing by 1/2 is the same as multiplying by 2:
👉 80 ÷ 0.5 = 160
Step 3: Multiply the result
160 × 4 = 640
✅ Final Answer: 640
💡 Why people fail:
Some mistakenly multiply 1/2 × 4 first, but that breaks the left-to-right rule for division and multiplication.
Smart thinking beats fast thinking 😉
