The riddle says:
“What is half of 4 − 4 − 4 × −2?”
The key here is interpreting “half of 4” correctly.
It means:
👉 Half of 4 = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
So we rewrite the expression:
2 − 4 − 4 × −2
⚙️ Step 2: Apply the Order of Operations
In math, we follow the rule of operations (often called PEMDAS):
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication & Division (from left to right)
- Addition & Subtraction (from left to right)
So we must handle multiplication before subtraction.
