The issue normally with these “trick” questions is the ambiguous nature of that division sign (not so much a problem here) or people not knowing to just go left to right when all operators are of the same priority. A common mistake is to think division is prioritised above multiplication, when it actually has the same priority. Someone should have included some parenthesis in PEDMAS aka. PE(DM)(AS) 😄
So order of operations is hard?

There’s no “trick” - it’s a straight-out test of Maths knowledge.
Nothing ambiguous about it. The Term on the left divided by the Term on the right.
It’s not a mistake. You can do them in any order you want.
Which means you can do them in any order
