An algebra problem by Thejus Asokan

$1+2 \times 3=7$

Apply BODMAS or PEMDAS. Multiplication first before addition.

$1+ 2\times 3=1+6=7$

$1 + 2×3 = 1 + 6 = \color{#69047E}{\boxed{7}}$ .

This is the trick question, we must remember multiply and divide first, so the answer is 7

I thought it was $7.12$ at first.

Using the laws regarding the order in which to perform mathematical operations, we must multiply first, giving

$1+6$

This, of course, equals 7 .
