What is two plus two divided by two?

Answer 1

Two plus two divided by two is three, due to order of operations, in which you would divide the two 2's first (which equals one), and then add the first 2. Where no order is specified, multiplication and division take place in the order written, then addition and subtraction.

Properly written, it would be 2 + (2/2), unless the other form (2 + 2) /2 is chosen, where the answer is 2.

* Note that 2 x 2 / 2 is the same whether you perform the multiplication or division first. The same applies for different numbers, e.g. 3 x 8 /6 = 4 (i.e. 24/6).
