Aphex: the 'of' in bodmas is meant for the bracket o!

yeah, dats why u've to multiply 3 OF (2+1) b4 dividing..
USE A CALCULATOR MR.!

Aphex: I actually did my thinking, I didn't think deep. Chimex, if u have 6/3*3, next up in BODMAS is actually division before multiplication so it'll be 2*3=6!

ur missin the point..this is d technical aspect.
It is 6/3(3)
=6/3 of3. The OF sign comes b4 the multiplication , although it is a multiplier in itself.
Any number that precedes a bracket in an expression is an "OF" multipler, not the ordinary multiplier....
That expression is more like 3 OF 3 rather than 3*3. Even though the OF is a multiplier sign, d difference is that it comes b4 d division sign in any eqn to be solved.
Get the difference![/b].

U guyz shld try a calculator n prevent urselves from further doubts...

MillionDollars: oh! I now know how u got ur 4, u did 6/3 before opening the bracket, but my BODMAS says BRACKET first!

Bandura: U re wrng bro...d correct ans goes like dis...
6/2(1+2)
1st: u remove d bracket.
Note:adding d terms in d bracket y d bracket sign () is stil intact is wrong.
Removing the bracket thus:
we now have: 6*1+2/3*1+2.
Next is 'OF' wich also stands for multiplication within d palance of 'BODMAS'
To have: 6+2/3+2.
Next is Division,
6 by 3=2
+by +=0
2 by 2=0
therefore, 6/2(1+2)=2. Dat is d final ans
simple but technical indeed.

u know what, both of u can save urselves some stress n use a calculator-a programmable one, den come back and report....

Aphex: Wow! cool work bro

u can say dat again, tanx.

can some1 help dis dude out?

MillionDollars: oh! I now know how u got ur 4, u did 6/3 before opening the bracket, but my BODMAS says BRACKET first!

i neva posted 4 as my ansa..i've posted d soln already...
*read tru n learn.*

Aphex: Ok ok...chimex,tell us d answer

Here u are
Question:6/3(1+2)
BODMAS comes to mind..n yes BODMAS it is.
Bracket 1st: 6/3(1+2);
1+2=3,(terms in bracket)
fraction now becomes:
=6/3(3)
this is where the confusion stems from
the next step is the OF....yes OF..
This function term is mostly omitted in virtually all mathematical questions and calculations, only present in its embedded topic(i.e BODMAS)
the above expression in its expanded and rightful form is
6/3 OF(1+2), leaving the simplified form as 6/3 OF(3)...
Did i hear u say hmmm...(yeah)
Obviously, the next n right step is
6/3 of 3
=6/3x3
=6/9=2/3.....Q.E.D

MillionDollars: so wld u tell me d 3 under the 6 wld disappear?? As long as dere is a bracket, d division sign divides all!!

seems ur even criticizin ur soln Mr.Dollar..
Ur arrangement of d 1st eqn as d 2nd 're 2 different tins!
Do u want me to present d soln!

MillionDollars: nd let me teach u in a milliondollar way!
6/3(1+2)=
6(1+2)/3=
(open d bracket)
(6*1)+(6*2)/3=
(6+12)/3=
18/3= 6

the question didnt go like this 6(1+2)/3..OR
[6(1+2)]/3 where u would've been correct.
U jst failed d 1st step.....look critically

MillionDollars: d answer if 6!!

bro, BIG WRONG!
Even 4 a MillionDollar?...
Look critically
scan properly
analyse logically
disect n operate carefully.
And u will come out correctly!.....

specialguest: He is the next best thing that has happened to Nigeria after agege bread. If you doubt, ask google

seems u need some Ebola slap but SARS will do...receive It!!

akpanikpe: My best friend is the oc anti bomb squad zamfara state command , if u should be in gusou the state capital let me knw so I can connect u to him, he is currently in USA thou, for a special course.

the way to welcome a novice n 1st timer in a state is to introduce the term BOMB!...(doesnt matta in wat circumstance).
Dat will jst put any1 off...
Learn from d last 6 comment above....cheese

fernandoc: Was posted to Zamfara state. Any news about that place?

.
Farmin will b ur pride, besides if u end up single(either male or female), jst go knock at d Govt house dey will provide u a suitor or suitors. Dependin on ur proportion
welcome to ZAMFARA!
Inakwana in advance ma friend

Larrysky: On jokes section?

pls ma, where i 4 put am? Its more or less a riddle...

emperorbanks: for a tricycle to go 1000km, u need each tyre to travel same distance which results to a total of 3000km(3*1000)... since we hv 5 tyres(3+2 spare), each tyre wud cover 600km a piece.(3000/5)
let's label d tyres T1 T2 T3 T4 and T5....T4 and T5 are d spare.
you travel d 1st 400km wit T1 T2 and T3...then exchange (T1 and T2) wit (T4 and T5)...mind u,T1 T2 and T3 still has 200km left in them while T4 and T5 has 600km, which is the distance left of d rest of d journey.
after 200km,replace T3 with T1, and after another 200km,replace T1 with T2..ceteris paribus
this is how each tyre wud equally be effective wit u having to stop jus 3 times on ur journey.

yeah, right dude...tanz 4 havin a gud grasp of the question...ansa is as perfect as eva..
