BODMAS is a helpful acronym meaning brackets, order, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction, ensuring that equation steps are completed in the right order. A mathematical question with multiple operations may give different answers depending on the order in which it is solved. B → B rackets first (parentheses) O → O f (orders i.e. Powers and Square Roots, Cube Roots, etc.) DM → D ivision and M ultiplication (start from left to right) AS → A ddition and S ubtraction (start from left to right) you can also search for it online if u think I am lying . http://www.math-only-math.com/bodmas-rule.html https://www.reference.com/math/bodmas-mathematics-18d88167d079ce6a# 31 Likes 7 Shares

So it is our teachers that are the reason for our lack of /disjointed progress all along, they removed "order" from all our calculations. 78 Likes 4 Shares |
