Solve (2*1div2),(4div1*2),(6*1div2)

$$( 2 \times 1 \div 2 ) , ( 4 \div 1 \times 2 ) , ( 6 \times 1 \div 2 )$$

Sort

$$1,3,8$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 2 and 2.

$$sort(1,\frac{4}{1}\times 2,\frac{6\times 1}{2})$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$sort(1,4\times 2,\frac{6\times 1}{2})$$

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$sort(1,8,\frac{6\times 1}{2})$$

Multiply 6 and 1 to get 6.

$$sort(1,8,\frac{6}{2})$$

Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.

$$sort(1,8,3)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 1.

$$1$$

Insert 8 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$1,8$$

Insert 3 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$1,3,8$$

Evaluate

$$1,8,3$$
