According to the order of operations, division must be performed before addition.
5 ÷ 5 = 1
Step 2: Add the remaining numbers
5 + 5 + 1 = 11
✅ Final answer: 11
Why isn’t it 20? Because the last two 5s are connected by a division sign, not an addition sign.
Remember: Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction. When operations have the same priority, work from left to right.
