Bodmas and Simp
The rule or order that we use to simplify expressions in math is called "BODMAS" rule.
Very simply way to remember BODMAS rule!
B -----> Brackets (Parentheses)
O -----> Of (Powers and radicals)
D -----> Division
M -----> Multiplication
A -----> Addition
S -----> Subtraction
Important notes:
1. In a particular simplification, if you have both multiplication and or both division, do the operations
one by one in the order from left to right.
To have better understanding on "Order of operations", let us look at BODMAS rule worksheets
problems.
1. Evaluate: 6 + 7 x 8
2. Evaluate: 10² - 16 ÷ 8
3. Evaluate: (25 + 11) x 2
4. Evaluate: 3 + 6 x (5+4) ÷ 3 -7
5. Evaluate: 36 - 2(20+12÷4x3-2x2) + 10
6. Evaluate: 6+ [(16-4) ÷ (2²+2)]-2
7. Evaluate: (96÷12) +14x (12+8) ÷2
8. Evaluate: (93+15) ÷ (3x4) - 24 + 8
9. Evaluate: 55 ÷ 11 + (18 - 6) x 9
10. Evaluate: (7 + 18) x 3 ÷ (2+13) - 28
Problem 1:
Evaluate: 6 + 7 x 8
Expression Evaluation Operation
6+7x8 = 6 + 7 x 8 Multiplication
= 6 + 56 Addition
= 62 Result
Problem 2:
Evaluate: 10² - 16 ÷ 8
Expression Evaluation Operation
10² - 16 ÷ 8 = 10² - 16 ÷ 8 Power
= 100 - 16 ÷ 8 Division
= 100 - 2 Subtraction
= 98 Result
Problem 3:
Evaluate: (25 + 11) x 2
Expression Evaluation Operation
(25 + 11) x 2 = (25 + 11) x 2 Parenthesis
= 36 x 2 Multiplication
= 72 Result
Problem 4:
Evaluate: 3 + 6 x (5+4) ÷ 3 -7
Expression Evaluation Operation
3 + 6 x (5+4) ÷ 3 -7 = 3 + 6 x (5+4) ÷ 3 -7 Parenthesis
= 3 + 6 x 9 ÷ 3 -7 Multiplication
= 3 + 54 ÷ 3 -7 Division
= 3 + 18 -7 Addition
= 21 - 7 Subtraction
= 14 Result
Problem 5:
Evaluate: 36 - 2(20+12÷4x3-2x2) + 10
Ans: -4
Problem 6:
Evaluate: 6+ [(16-4) ÷ (2²+2)]-2
Problem 7:
Evaluate: (96÷12)+14x(12+8)÷2
Expression Evaluation Operation
(96÷12)+14x(12+8) ÷ 2 =(96÷12)+14x(12+8) ÷ 2 Parentheses
= 8 + 14x20 ÷ 2 Multiplication
= 8 + 280 ÷ 2 Division
= 8 + 140 Addition
= 148 Result
Problem 8:
Evaluate: (93+15) ÷ (3x4) - 24 + 8
Expression Evaluation Operation
(93+15)÷(3x4)-24+8 = (93+15)÷(3x4)-24+8 Parenthesis
= 108 ÷ 12 - 24 + 8 Division
= 9 - 24 + 8 Subtraction
= -15 + 8 Subtraction
= -7 Result
Problem 9:
Evaluate: 55 ÷ 11 + (18 - 6) x 9
Expression Evaluation Operation
55÷11+(18-6)x9 = 55÷11+(18-6)x9 Parenthesis
= 55÷11 + 12x9 Division
= 5 + 12x9 Multiplication
= 5 + 108 Addition
= 113 Result
Problem 10:
Evaluate: (7 + 18) x 3 ÷(2+13) - 28
Expression Evaluation Operation
(7+18)x3÷(2+13)- 28 = (7+18)x3÷(2+13)-28 Parentheses
= 25x3 ÷ 15 - 28 Multiplication
= 75 ÷ 15 - 28 Division
= 5 - 28 Subtraction
= -23 Result
