mlhoover, Multiplication and division do not carry a required order over one another. One or the other operation does not always necessarily come first, whether you use PEMDAS or BODMAS. Since the 2 operations carry equal weight in an equation, they are done in the order they appear in the equation from left to right. The same thing applies to addition and subtraction. The acronyms BODMAS and PEMDAS had to list one of the two operations first, but it doesn't mean you must always do that operation in advance of the other.

Jose Baquerizo, The solution to the equation is correct. The only way one can arrive at an answer of 1 would be to write the equation differently, treating the 2 as a coefficient of (1+2). To do so means a second set of brackets is necessary, rewriting the equation as such: 6 ÷ [2 (1 + 2)] = 6 ÷ [2(3)] = 6 ÷ 6 =1 As it is written, division precedes multiplication in this particular equation. 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 6 ÷ 2 (3) = 3 (3) = 9 Remember the order of operations. • Brackets/ Parentheses • Orders/ Exponents • Division/ Multiplication in the order they in the equation from left to right. • Subtraction/Addition in the order they appear in the equation from left to right. It doesn't matter what you call it, whether BODMAS or PEMDAS, the order for solving equations is always the same. Multiplication and division carry equal weight in an equation and those operations are done in the order they appear in the equation from left to right. The same applies to addition and subtraction.

Steve Avery, The bat cost 105. The ball cost 5. Therefore, the bat cost 100 more than the ball.

The last question counts only the round circles. 8 has 2,9 has only 1.

Got all right, but guessed on last question. Wish they had showed how you got answers.

tomfrazzini, Count thenumber of circles of each of the numbers

I do not understand the last question. Can you explain it?

3/5 Good quiz with answers!!!
