Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Now this is makes an ambiguous situation where in we have two cases as :
A) Half of 2+2 = (Half of 2) + 2 = (1) + 2 = 3 .
B) Half of 2+2 = Half of (2+2) = (.5)(4) = 2.
This is based on the user perspective for the perfect solution based on the situation where in it is used.
But, technically to answer this, the correct answer is 3.
It is not an ambiguous condition as there are no brackets or parentheses, but consists of only arithmetical operators.
The order of operations rule clearly the BODMAS rule tells one to apply the multipliers first followed by the rest. The word "of" is the synonym for "multiply". For example, "1/2 of 8" is same as "1/2 x 8".
Since the question is read as half of two plus two, the symbolic representation is given as 1/2 x 2 + 2,
the order of operations are as follows :
1/2 x 2 = 1 + 2 = 3.
