At first glance it looks easy, something you’d solve in seconds without even thinking, but this is exactly the kind of problem that trips people up, not because it’s hard, but because most people rush and miss one small step
The problem is right there, 8 ÷ 2 + √4, nothing complicated, just basic math, but the order you follow changes everything
Most people start from left to right without thinking, but there’s a rule you have to follow
First, handle the square root
√4 = 2
Now the problem becomes
8 ÷ 2 + 2
Next, division comes before addition
8 ÷ 2 = 4
Now you’re left with
4 + 2 = 6
That’s the correct answer
6
Simple, but only if you slow down and follow the steps instead of guessing
That’s why so many people get these wrong, not because they don’t know the math, but because they move too fast
