We will obey the rules for simplifying an expression using BODMAS/PEMDAS rules - involving decimals for solving order of operations.
Follow the order of operation as:
1. Bracket β Solve inside the Brackets/parenthesis before Of, Multiply, Divide, Add or Subtract.
For example:
1.6 Γ (0.5 + 0.3)
= 1.6 Γ 0.8
= 1.28
2. Of β Then, solve Of part (Exponent, Powers, Roots, etc.,) before Multiply, Divide, Add or Subtract.
For example:
3.2 + 0.5 of 1.6 - 0.1
= 3.2 + 0.5 Γ 1.6 - 0.1
= 3.2 + 0.8 - 0.1
= 4 - 0.1
= 3.9
3. Division/Multiplication β Then, calculate Multiply or Divide before Add or Subtract start from left to right.
For example:
1.2 + 1.5 Γ· 0.3 Γ 0.3
= 1.2 + 5 Γ 0.3
= 1.2 + 1.5
= 2.7
4. Addition/Subtraction β At last Add or Subtract start from left to right.
For example:
1.7 + (4.2 - 0.5) Γ 0.1
= 1.7 + 3.7 Γ 0.1
= 1.7 + 0.37
= 2.07
Worked-out
problems for solving BODMAS/PEMDAS rules - involving decimals:
Simplify using BODMAS/PEMDAS rule:
(a) 8 - 4.2 Γ· 6 + 0.3 Γ 0.4
Solution:
8 - 4.2 Γ· 6 + 0.3 Γ 0.4
= 8 - 0.7 + 0.3 Γ 0.4, (Simplifying βdivisionβ 4.2 Γ· 6 = 0.7)
= 8 - 0.7 + 0.12, (Simplifying βmultiplicationβ 0.3 Γ 0.4 = 0.12)
= 7.3 + 0.12, (Simplifying βsubtractionβ 8 - 0.7 = 7.3)
= 7.42, (Simplifying βadditionβ 7.3 + 0.12 = 7.42)
Answer: 7.42
(b) 7.6 - [3 + 0.5 of (3.1 - 2.3 Γ 1.02)]
Solution:
7.6 - [3 + 0.5 of (3.1 - 2.3 Γ 1.02)]
= 7.6 - [3 + 0.5 of (3.1 - 2.346)], (Simplifying 2.3 Γ 1.02 = 2.346)
= 7.6 - [3 + 0.5 of 0.754], (Simplifying βsubtractionβ 3.1 - 2.346 = 0.754)
= 7.6 - [3 + 0.5 Γ 0.754], (Simplifying βofβ)
= 7.6 - [3 + 0.377], (Simplifying βmultiplicationβ 0.5 Γ 0.754 = 0.377)
= 7.6 - 3.377, (Simplifying βadditionβ 3 + 0.377 = 3.377)
= 4.223, (Simplifying βsubtractionβ 7.6 - 3.377 = 4.223)
Answer: 4.223
(c) 12.8 - 0.4 of (7.2 - 3.7) + 2.4 Γ 3.02
Solution:
12.8 - 0.4 of (7.2 - 3.7) + 2.4 Γ 3.02
= 12.8 - 0.4 of 3.5 + 2.4 Γ 3.02, (Simplifying 7.2 - 3.7 = 3.5)
= 12.8 - 0.4 Γ 3.5 + 2.4 Γ 3.02, (Simplifying βofβ)
= 12.8 - 1.4 + 2.4 Γ 3.02, (Simplifying βmultiplicationβ 0.4 Γ 3.5 = 1.4)
= 12.8 - 1.4 + 7.248, (Simplifying βmultiplicationβ 2.4 Γ 3.02 = 7.248)
= 11.4 + 7.248, (Simplifying βsubtractionβ 12.8 - 1.4 = 11.4)
= 18.648, (Simplifying βadditionβ 11.4 + 7.248 = 18.648)
Answer: 18.648
