If you answered 4, you’re correct! 🎉
The trick is remembering the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which says that division and multiplication are performed before addition, from left to right.
Let’s solve it step by step:
4 + 8 ÷ 2 × 0
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4
- 4 × 0 = 0
- 4 + 0 = 4 ✅
Final Answer: 4
Many people mistakenly add 4 + 8 = 12 first, which leads to the wrong answer. This puzzle is a great reminder that following the correct order of operations is just as important as doing the math itself.
