Question

What is the use of order in numerical expressions?

Answer 1

Hint: In this problem, we can see the use of order in numerical expressions. We should know that the use of order in numerical expression is to specify the sequence in which the numerical operations of the given expression is to be performed. Order is useful to find the correct answer for any given numerical expression. We can now see about it.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Here we can see the use of order in numerical expression.
We should know that the use of order in numerical expression is to specify the sequence in which the numerical operations of the given expression is to be performed.
Order is useful to find the correct answer for any given numerical expression.
We should know that there are multiple operations involved in a single numerical expression, hence the order is specified in which the operations will be carried out.
We can say it as ‘BODMAS’, which specifies ‘Brackets Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction’.
We can now take an example,
\[\Rightarrow \left( 2+3\times 5 \right)\]
Where we have to perform the multiplication operation first and then addition, we get
\[\Rightarrow 17\]
Here, 17 is the answer and not 25.

Note: We should remember that the use of order in numerical expression is to specify the sequence in which the numerical operations of the given expression is to be performed. Order is useful to find the correct answer for any given numerical expression. We should also remember the operation which should be in order, we can say it as ‘BODMAS’, which specifies ‘Brackets Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction’.
