Question

How to solve BODMAS sums?

Answer 1

Solving BODMAS sums:

BODMAS rule: It is a rule or order used to simplify the arithmetic expression involving more operators in mathematics. When an equation involves more operators, we must first know in which order we have to solve the expression.

The full form of BODMAS is:

1. Brackets (Parts of a calculation inside the bracket always come first).
   Precedence of brackets are : $\left[\left\{\left(\right)\right\}\right]$
2. Orders (powers and square roots)
3. Division
4. Multiplication
5. Addition
6. Subtraction

Listed below are the rules to solve BODMAS sums:

1. First, simplify the brackets
2. Solve the exponent or root terms
3. Perform division or multiplication operation (from left to right)
4. Perform addition or subtraction operation (from left to right)

Hence, we can use above-mentioned rules to solve BODMAS sums.
