because in the previous message about the pemdas
it is parenthesis,exponents,multiplication,division,addition,subtraction
therefore how that little part that looks like this
12 divided by 2*2
it would be multiplication first then
SORRY THEN DIVISION
SO THAT MEANS OVERALL IT IS TEN
10

To solve the expression 12 divided by 2 times 2, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and addition and subtraction from left to right).
In this case, we don't have any parentheses or exponents, so we move on to multiplication and division. According to PEMDAS, we perform these operations from left to right.
First, we perform the multiplication: 2 times 2 equals 4.
Then, we perform the division: 12 divided by 4 equals 3.
So, the overall answer is 3.
