Differences in teaching and learning styles have people arguing about whether the answer to a simple-looking equation is one or 16.

BODMAS/PEMDAS prakaram its 8/8 = 1

bodmas/pemdas  prakaram - answer 16

first in brackets (2*2)=4

next division =4

4*4=16

So, how do you write an equation for something divided by something times something?

For example, I came up with this word problem:

There is a total of 8 gallons of gas available. 4 bikers need to use that equally to travel from point A to B and back to point A, by spending all of it. How many gallons each biker would spend to travel one-way?

4 biker 2 way——> 8 gallon

1 biker 1 way——> 1x1x8/4x2 = 1

But, unfortunately, calculators are not designed/configured to decode intricate equations. They just give you results for straight forward (assumptions) equations, which need not always be treated as truth.

We need productive, constructive and motivated answer. Let’s find common ground.

brackets annapudu, 2*2 chesav kaani, baita unna 2( ni why ignoring,

u shud do 2*2 and then 2(4) then go to division. so it will become 8/8

You use an extra pair of brackets... like I said in one of the replies in the previous page... anyways give it a rest, you are thinking way too much, that too in a wrong direction

No it’s 16 only. First bracket, tarvatha Division, multiplication

ade saying..bracket lo unnavi multiply chestunnaru...

but why not multiplying that bracket with 2(2*2)  = 8

division before multiplication... brackets before both D and M, bracket and multiply ani kadu ikkada, you need to solve the things within the bracket first ani
