Simple Math Problem.

[Blade3562]

Ok so we had this discussion in a college course. Very simple math problem but 50% of the people got it wrong. To me that says something is amiss so let me ask you gents.

1+1x0=?

I'll give you a hint its not 2. Lol

[[TC]►Ras◄]

Wouldnt that be 1? 1x0=0, 1+0=1

[[TC]►Nick◄]

1

2..? I would have thought '0' would be the most common answer.

Anyway, 1+(1x0)=1. The same answer as everyone above me.

1. beacouas: 1+1x0 = 1+(1x0) = 1+0 = 1

[Blade3562]

I don't know how someone got 2 but out of 150 people
2% got 2(3 people)
47% got 0
51% got 1

It's 1. You first multiply and then add. 1+1x0. So, what you first calculate is this: 1+(1x0).
That would be 1+0, wich is 1. So it should be 1+1x0=1.

Its 1 . First: 1x0=0
Second: 1+0=1

A 10-year old could have given you an answer, so what's the point in this thread?

This is the same as those pictures on Facebook with 10 gazillion comments.

"waht is 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0+1???????? lyk if u no deh anser!!!"

Maybe it's that their education isn't really up to it?

anything timed by zero will always be zero
1x0=0
100000x0=0
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9x0=0

Yeah but in this case you have to remember the simple principle of maths, the order of operations.

Multiplication before addition.

(Also thanks for the huge meme face)

1+1*0

Multiplications first:
1*0 = 0

Then you've got 1 left, and that's basically it.

So 1+1*0 = 1
