Problem
Order of operations evaluation
Answer
No, Jaylen made a mistake in Step 1. Jaylen should have divided before multiplying. The order of operations says to multiply and divide from left to right.
Step-by-step solution
Jaylen incorrectly performed the multiplication before the division in Step 1. According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), division and multiplication have equal precedence and are performed from left to right. Therefore, the division $24 \div 6$ should have been done first, not $6 \times 2$.
