Let’s tackle the equation 60 + 60 x 0 + 1 = ? by following the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS:
- Parentheses/Brackets
- Exponents/Orders
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Now, let’s break it down:
- First, perform the multiplication: 60 x 0 = 0.
- The equation now becomes: 60 + 0 + 1.
- Next, add 60 + 0 = 60.
- Finally, add 1: 60 + 1 = 61.
So, the correct answer is 61.
