Try Solving This Tricky Math Expression!

The math problem 56 ÷ 4(3+4) has gone viral, splitting the internet into two angry groups. One side claims the answer is 2, while the other side insists it is 98. Who is actually right? In this episode of Mental Math, we break down why this simple arithmetic expression causes so much confusion. We explore the "intuitive" approach that leads to 2, and compare it against the strict modern rules of Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) used by calculators that leads to 98. We also discuss "implied multiplication" (juxtaposition) versus explicit multiplication and why ambiguous notation is the real villain in this math mystery. In this video we cover: The argument for Team 2 (The Intuitive Approach). The argument for Team 98 (The Modern Convention). How Order of Operations handles multiplication and division. Why mathematicians hate writing equations this way.
