Incorrect, pemdas puts multiplication before division.

I always thought pemdas was more like P/E/MD/AS with MD and AS occurring left to right

This is how I was taught, but also people don't really use the ÷ symbol in algebra beyond like 6th grade

Yes they do, just pick up a high school Maths textbook (in a country which uses obelus rather than colon).

And "Multiplication" refers literally to multiplication signs, of which there are none in this question.
