Can you solve this math puzzle without falling for the trick? 👇😍

The Expression

5 + 5 + 5 ÷ 5

To solve it correctly, we must follow the order of operations. Division is performed before addition.

Step 1 — Perform the Division

First, calculate:

5 ÷ 5 = 1

The expression now becomes:

5 + 5 + 1

Step 2 — Perform the Addition

Now add the remaining numbers:

5 + 5 = 10

Then:

10 + 1 = 11

✅ Final Answer: 11

The trick is to calculate the additions first and get 15,

 then divide by 5. That approach is incorrect because there are no parentheses around the entire addition.

Since division has priority over addition, the correct calculation is:

5 + 5 + 5 ÷ 5 = 11
