Use BODMAS rule (Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) to perform the division inside the parentheses first, then multiply.
An arithmetic expression (24 ÷ 3) × 2.
(a÷b)×c
Use BODMAS rule (Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) to perform the division inside the parentheses first, then multiply.
Students might mistakenly perform multiplication before division if they ignore the parentheses or misinterpret the BODMAS priority sequence.
Solve the bracketed division
According to the order of operations (BODMAS), we must first resolve the operation inside the parentheses: 24÷3=8.
24÷3=8
Perform the final multiplication
Now, multiply the result by 2 as indicated in the original expression: 8×2=16.
8×2=16
A is correct because the result of the expression (24 ÷ 3) × 2 is 16.
This basic order of operations is essential for solving complex algebraic expressions and quantitative aptitude problems involving multi-step arithmetic.
