There is no law that has fixed dis arrangement all ball down to zero

Re: Can You Solve This? by alexov(m): 8:49am On Apr 14, 2016

The answer is 1

Re: Can You Solve This? by Ficeo(m): 9:18am On Apr 14, 2016

1 is the answer.

And to think that some of y'all shouting 0, 1, 2 actually passed Mathematics in WASSCE...

Re: Can You Solve This? by Nely77(m): 10:00am On Apr 14, 2016

Sorry for those replying 0, 1, 2 and 30. How did these people pass their primary school and did they attend secondary schools at all? It sounds embarrassing or is it that they are Joking? SMH

Generals03:

Bodmas applies in every mathematical arithmetic. It is a rule.
Under this rule, you must treat multiplications as a priority before additions.

In this case, you first treat 1x0 =0,
Then you carry on with your additions;
1+1+1+1+1+1+1....+0+1= 12

In standard mathematics the final answer is 12.

Pls don't mind these people. I've seen countless of these things on facebook and the rate at which they miscalculate is shameful. And they are the ones that will be doing as if they know everything in this world. I wonder how people pass Maths in WASSCE if they are claiming BODMAS doesn't apply here

Say a foreigner ventures onto this forum and sees the answers...

Re: Can You Solve This? by extinctbeauty(f): 10:34am On Apr 14, 2016

Applying BODMAS, the answer is 12 since multiplication must be done before addition else calculating straight, the answer is 1

1+1+1+1+1
1+1+1+1+1
1+(1x0)+1 =11+0+1=12

I'm not really a guru, but I'm certainly not a dunce either.

***Modified****
BODMAS is a rule of basic Arithmetic hence the answer is 12

Note that BODMAS is not a mathematical formula, but rather, it is an an aid to memory in simplifying common arithmetic computation involving more than one of the operators (+,-() etc). So, while using it, one's knowledge of arithmetic is very important. For instance, u may decide to treat multiplication cases before division and also treat subtraction before addition. Note also that the 'of' and 'multiplication' in the BODMAS are mathematically the same. Moreover, multiplication and division are nothing but series of addition and subtraction respectively. I can also prove to u that multiplication and division are the same thing. Same applies to addition and subtraction. So just hold onto what u know cos knowledge is infinite.

Thanks, but I know all these things you have pointed out. Multiplication is a series of addition. Similar to summation and Integrals. I still stand on my disposition. I won't say 30 because some white man's website says so. If 30 is correct, then the question is unmathematical. You don't break a number like that, you start on a new line in this kind of expression. If a number is too long such that it stretches to another line, brackets should be used to indicate that the number is not two separate numbers.

BODMAS is not an aid to memorizing arithmetic. It is the ORDER for arithmetic.

BODMAS is the order of operations used in mathematics, logic and programming. It is the standard rule and guide to follow for correct arithmetics.

Re: Can You Solve This? by hod898(m): 8:16pm On Apr 14, 2016

What's with all the arguments? The correct answer is 2.
Reason:
This is a word problem mixed with numbers. It says ''Solve the FOLLOWING equation.'' This implies that an equation follows something, which in this case is a set of two groups of numbers. The first two sums could be a number that was split. For example, 3 = 1 + 1 + 1. However, they were only statements. An equation shows the value of some operation an USUALLY has the equality sign, " = ".Hence, the problem can be seen as:
5
5
1 + 1 × 0 + 1 = ?
This makes the answer 2

Ramanto:

What Bodmas Are You Talking About, Can You Please Explain The Application Here?

Bodmas is a sequence. When ever u see an equation like this,the first thing u go for is solving the multiplication first. And after solving u will have something like this:
.1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+0+1
. Therefore ur answer is 12.

Modified
Oops the question is actually very tricky. Upon studying the question again I realized that there were two 11s there. So instead of 12, ur answer will be 30

Then I ask; if I decide to treat cases of multiplication before division and subtraction before addition which obviously negates that order, will my computation be right or wrong? And I may decide to also treat multiplication and division cases before bracket and arrive at the same answer e.g (3+4)×5=7×5=35 or (15+20)=35. It depends on ur knowledge of numbers and their different possible manipulations. It might be an order in which a machine is programmed to compute or a programming logic for a programmer but as a human being, u are not under any bondage to comply with that order. BODMAS, I repeat, is an aid to memory for primary school children.

30 is the answer.
1+1+1+1+11+1+1+1+11+1×0+1= 30

where r u seeing d 11 biko?

If you check the the end of the first row and the beginning of the second row, you will see that there is no plus (+) sign connecting two rows, that is where 11 came in, same goes with second and third row.
