WHAT IS BODMAS ?

Children can use the acronym BODMAS to help them remember the right order to carry out mathematical operations while solving problems. B-Brackets, O-Orders (powers/exponents or roots), D-Division, M-Multiplication, A-Addition, and S-Subtraction are all abbreviated as BODMAS.

The order of operations (or operator precedence) in mathematics and computer programming refers to a set of rules that represent standards for which operations to carry out first in order to evaluate a specific mathematical expression. For instance, since the advent of contemporary algebraic notation, multiplication has been given a higher priority than addition in mathematics and most computer languages.

As a result, 1 + (2 3) = 7 rather than 1 + (2 3) = 9 is the value assigned to the expression 1 + 2 3. Exponents were first used in the 16th and 17th centuries, when addition and multiplication were given priority. Exponents could only be used as a superscript to the right of their base. Consequently, 3 + 52 = 28 and 3 52 = 75.

CALCULATION

first add the total amount of flour =

   =   [tex]1\frac{1}{2} + 2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

   = 1.5 + 2.75

   = 4.25

no. of times = 4.25 * 4/1 = 17 times
