BODMAS
The BODMAS rule, also known as the order of
operations, dictates the sequence in which mathematical operations should be
performed in an expression. It stands for Brackets, Orders (powers and square
roots), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), and Addition and
Subtraction (from left to right).
Here's a breakdown:
B - Brackets: Calculations within brackets
(parentheses, square brackets, etc.) are done first.
O - Orders: Next, powers and square roots are
calculated.
DM - Division and Multiplication: These
operations are performed from left to right.
AS - Addition and Subtraction: Finally,
addition and subtraction are done from left to right.
Example:
In the expression 10 - 2 × 3 + (4 + 1), the
BODMAS rule dictates the following steps:
Brackets: (4 + 1) = 5
Multiplication: 2 × 3 = 6
Subtraction: 10 - 6 = 4
Addition: 4 + 5 = 9
Therefore, the answer is 9.
