What is 5 + 3 * 0?

Recommended Posts

1.05 + 3.50 x 6

 

 

What the answer?

 

Not trick but a day to day sum.

 

22.05 - no trick, basic maths.

 

1.05 + (3.50 x 6) = 22.05

 

Do you see, do the multiplication first then the addition.

The page is discussing BODMAS it states it clearly. It calcualtes the brackets out first follow the exercise through and not isolate each as individual calculations.

 

Are you reading the same page as us?:huh:

So when 6 people all bought a coffee and a sandwich it cost £27.30 ?

 

1.05 + 3.50 x 6 people.

1.05 + 3.50 x 6 people.

Which would be written mathematically as (1.05 + 3.50) x 6

Yep the one that says BODMAS at the top. That gives a hint what is being discussed.

You haven't got a BEd in English too, have you? :hihi:

1.05 + 3.50 x 6 people.

 

The question, as posed, would be one person bought a coffee at £1.05 and 6 people bought a bun and coffee at £3.50.

Err no. I can only hope that your not teaching English comprehension as well as maths.

 

Question 1, from bottom of page.

 

What is the value of 3 + 6 ÷ 3 × 2 ?

 

A. 7

B. 6

C. 4

D. 1.5

 

If you answer anything other than A then you really shouldn't be teaching maths.

And if it was written that way bodmas would apply, but it wasn't and its still mathematically correct.

No it's not. here's what a computer would say:

 

 

 

select (1.05 + 3.50) * 6;

+-------------------+

| (1.05 + 3.50) * 6 |

+-------------------+

| 27.30 |

+-------------------+

 

select 1.05 + 3.50 * 6;

+-----------------+

| 1.05 + 3.50 * 6 |

+-----------------+

| 22.05 |

+-----------------+

If thats how you feel then fine.

 

The shop assistant verbally went 1.05 +3.50 x the six of you, result £27 odd.
