Bot GPT 3.5 The correct order of operations is as follows:
1. Parentheses (or brackets)
2. Exponents (or powers)
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
In the given expression, there are no parentheses or brackets, so we move to the next step.
The next step is to calculate any exponents. However, there are no exponents in the expression, so we move to the next step.
The next step is to perform any multiplication or division from left to right.
In the expression, there is only one multiplication and one division operation:
- 3 multiplied by 1 is 3
- 3 divided by 2 is 1.5
So, the step that should be completed first is the division: 6 - 1.5
Therefore, the correct answer is division.
