  • 60 + 60 x 0 + 1

    60+0+1=61

  • 61 is correct due to order of operations: 60+(60×0)+1=0

    As for why any number x 0 is 0: think of this:

    lets say 4:

    4 x 4 is 16

    4 x 3 is 12

    4 x 2 is 8

    4 x 1 is 4

    4 x 0 is 0

    as you can see, you subtract 4 every time, so the solution being 0 just follows the pattern.

    So if 1x=x

    that means 0x=x-x=0

  • order of operations makes multiplication the first to be solved.

    60+(60×0)+1=

    60+0+1=61

    It is 61.

    0 x anything is 0

  • What you need to do of follow the saying Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally or pemdas for short. This means do math in this order: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction….when doing this problem just follow these steps and since no parenthesis or exponents are there just skip them. So multiply first the 60×0 which is 0, so your new problem should be 60+0+1= which its 61…

  • Multiplication comes first then division addition and subtraction. So it would be 61 🙂
