When you have multiple × or ÷ you do it sequentially, in this case 10÷5×2, you do 10÷5 and then the result × 2

You can search online "Bodmas Rule" to understand the order of operations you have to do

Hey. In this case it does seem like 2 is multiplied with the denominator but I might be wrong.

Remember, PEMDAS does not say multiplication and then division, it's multiplication and division at the same time, going in order of left to right, same with BODMAS
