Expression to simplify: 0.5×0.5+0.5÷0.5
0.5×0.5+0.50.5
Compute the multiplication and division parts separately in your head, then add them up for instant results.
Students often add 0.5+0.5 first, violating the BODMAS order of operations.
Analyze Operations
Identify the operations present: multiplication, addition, and division. Apply the BODMAS rule.
BODMAS: Division/Multiplication before Addition
Multiplication Step
Evaluate the multiplication part: 0.5×0.5.
0.5×0.5=0.25
Division Step
Evaluate the division part: 0.5÷0.5.
0.5÷0.5=1.0
Final Addition
Add the intermediate results together: 0.25+1.0.
0.25+1.0=1.25
A is correct because evaluating the expression using the BODMAS rule yields 1.25.
Mastering the order of operations prevents silly calculation mistakes in simplification and algebraic evaluation problems.
