Solve 340 ÷ (12-7): Order of Operations Practice

Let's simplify this expression while maintaining the order of operations.

We'll start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses and perform the subtraction within them:

$12-7=5$

Now we'll get the exercise:

$340:5=$

In the next step, to make the division easier, we'll break down 340 into two smaller factors that are divisible by 5:

$(300+40):5=$

Let's divide each of the factors in parentheses by 5:

$(300:5)+(40:5)=$

We'll solve each of the expressions in parentheses and get the exercise:

$60+8=68$
