Why is it important to know BODMAS as a mathematician?
So everyone can solve every problem the same (correct) way.
200
3 x 9 + 3 + 9 - (2 + 3) = 91
Brackets first then do multiplication and work left to right.
200
7 + (2 x 4) - 1

Which do we do first, multiplication or division?
TRICK QUESTION - you do whichever comes first working left to right.
300
2 x 9 + (3 - 4 ) = 25
Brackets first and then work left to right.
300
56 ÷ (4+4) + 3

What is 5 squared?
5 x 5 = 25
400
4 + 5 + 7 - 3 x 2 = 26
You need to follow BODMAS and do the multiplication first. Correct answer is 10.
400
20 – (5+3) x 2 + 4

The problem was 20 - 5 x 2 + 3. My answer was 33. What did I do wrong?
I went from left to right without using the correct order of operations. Multiplication first (5 x 2) then work left to right.
500
3 x 9 + ( 3 - 2) =19
Follow BODMAS. Brackets first and then multiplication.
500
(5 x 4) – 6 ÷ 2 + 9
26
