in programming its BEDMAS or PEDMAS, in mathematics BODMAS still holds, i think undecided

Whether Multiplication before division or division before multiplication, it's the same thing.

6-1x0+2÷2 = 7, using PEMDAS

6-1x0+2÷2 = 5, using BODMAS

I don't think PEMDAS and BODMAS are basically the same.

I disagree
PEMDAS
6-1x0+2÷2 = 5
P and E are out,
M: 1x0=0
=6-0+2÷2
D: 2÷2=1
=6-0+1
A: 0+1=1
=6-1=5
solve the signs only

Re: Has PEDMAS Really Taken Over From BODMAS? by idros4real: 8:05am On Jun 27, 2016

Horlalaykon:
PEDMAS and BODMAS give the same result. With your example, BODMAS also gives 7. In BODMAS, division has higher rank than multiplication

6-1x0+2÷2
= 6-1x0+(2÷2)
= 6-(1x0)+1
= 6-0+1 = 7

Wrong answer
= 6-0+1= 5 with PEDMAS
You have to add 0+1 before subtracting it from 6 and the answer will be 5.

Sorry I was wrong I wrote PEMDAS instead of PEDMAS.

But to say the fact PEDMAS and BODMAS are the same, just english that distinguish them.

The answers are actually both 7, since the result of the division is positive + and -1x0 = 0.

You have to add 0+1 before subtracting it from 6 and the answer will be 5.

.

Please (0) can't be negative.

you were wrong, the negative sign belongs to 0 not 6.
You were actually trying to add -0+1 which is the same as 1-0

The expression can be re written as
+6-0+1
+6+1-0=7

Remember it is PEDMAS and BODMAS and we are talking of order of operation. So check it out again. Thanks

simple question for you "-1+1"
Is it addition or subtraction?

If your answer is Addition, hope your final answer is -2 grin

Has PEMDAS Really Taken Over From BODMAS?

"In those days", one of the rules of Algebra in solving of equations was to use the mnemonics BODMAS - as the order of operations to follow....

B - for Brackets
O - for Of
D - for Division
M - for Multiplication
A - for Addition
S - for Subtraction

Yesterday while discussing this "almighty" order of solving equations with a young undergraduate, he politely informed me that my BODMAS of yesteryears is no more! That rather it is now PEMDAS that is now being taught in schools and colleges.....

P - for Parentheses
E - for Exponent
M - for Multiplication
D - for Division
A - for Addition
S - for Subtraction

While an ancient like me can allow the fresh nomenclatures for "Brackets" and "Of" of yesteryears, when did "Division" lose its position for "Multiplication"? He could not answer me!

Finally, is it now true that "Multiplication" has taken precedence over "Division" against what the Entebbe Workshop that became "Modern Mathematics" of the 1960s taught to people of my generation?

multiplication and division can come in any order so also addition and subtraction....this is true for both PEMDAS &BODMAS.....do ur research well on it

Re: Has PEDMAS Really Taken Over From BODMAS? by Igboid: 8:29am On Jun 27, 2016

Ok guys, I took another look at it. They will both give 7.

So you Guys can now let my mentions rest. I'm not good at mathematics, I concur!

I don't think PEMDAS and BODMAS are basically the same.

[i]
6-1×0+2÷2 = PEMDAS = 6-(1×0)+2÷2
= 6-0+(2÷2)
= 6-(0+1)
= 7
6-1×0+2÷2 = BODMAS = 6-1×0+(2÷2)
= 6-(1×0)+1
= 6-(0+1)
= 7

BOTH GIVES D SAME RESULT !
THANK U VERY MUCH .

Yes it's true kinda, saw that for the first time preparing for GRE, truth is I can say BODMAS is just elementary /basic mathematics while PEMDAS is advanced mathematics... IMO
