I say 60, as does a friend who was formerly a schoolteacher.
Essentially, in PEMDAS, do you literally do all the operations according to P-E-M-D-A-S? So that all addition gets done before all subtraction? Or are addition/subtraction considered equivalent in priority so that you then do the equation left-to-right?

Yep
56 - 24 / 3 + 12
56-8+12
=60
