Question

For the arithmetic expression, place the brackets in the correct order: $15-2\times 4+9$.

$A.15-2\times (4+9)$

$B.(15-2\times 4+9)$

$C.15-(2\times 4)+9$

$D.(15-2)\times 4+9$

• A. 15 - (2 x 4) + 9
• B. (15 - 2) x 4 + 9
• C. 15 - 2 x (4 + 9)
• D. (15 - 2 x 4 + 9)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Given:

$15-2\times 4+9$

In any arithmetic expression, for the calculations need to apply the BODMAS rule,

So, in $15-2\times 4+9$ according to BODMAS rule, first we need to simplify multiplication.

$\Rightarrow$ we need to arrange the bracket for $2\times 4$.

i.e., $15-(2\times 4)+9$

Hence, Option $C$ is correct.
