Question

type the correct answer in the box. use numbers instead of words.
for a class project, 18 students were separated into 6 equal groups. each student in a group drew 2 pictures.
the equation shown can be used to find p, the total number of pictures each group drew?
18 ÷ 6 × 2 = p
what is the total number of pictures each group drew?
p = \boxed{} pictures

Explanation:

Step1: Perform division first

In the expression \(18\div6\times2\), we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). Division and multiplication have the same precedence, so we perform them from left to right. First, calculate \(18\div6\).
\(18\div6 = 3\)

Step2: Perform multiplication next

Now, multiply the result from Step 1 by 2. So, \(3\times2\).
\(3\times2 = 6\)

Answer:

6
