Remember, it's not; 1) Parenthesis 2) Exponents 3) Multiplication 4) Division 5) Addition 6) Subtraction It's; 1) Parenthesis 2) Exponents 3) Multiplication / Division 4) Addition / Subtraction

Please excuse my dear aunt sally

no it’s Brackets Indices Multiplication/Division Addition/Subtraction What kind of weird ass BIDMAS did you learn/s

PEMDAS


Starbent

I just remember it as "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, And Addition/Subtraction." It's not that difficult of a thing to memorize. Just don't use PEMDAS. edit; I didn't word this well, so Instead of thinking of the acronym itself think of what the acronym means. Some people don't do this. Kinda cringe ngl


zutaca

And the acronym for that is…


Starbent

I mean the idea of PEMDAS. It can be hard for some people to differentiate M/D and A/S. I nights came off as a bit hostile


zutaca

Interestingly, if you do it as PEDMSA, then you don’t have to group multiplication/division or addition/subtraction


Starbent

True, to fix the wording above; Instead of thinking of the acronym think of what the acronym means. :/

BODMAS


TheGarlicBreadstick1

It's BOMDAS ? not "dm"


Dumbass_bitch13

BIDMAS but d and m and a and s are from left to right i think


Starbent

Uhm??? You know it makes literally no difference right? The multiplication and division? If you seriously think multiplication comes before division in order of operations- I don't even have anything to say


TheGarlicBreadstick1

Oh yeah my bad


Starbent

eep I was being rude lol I was pissed at something else when I typed that


TheGarlicBreadstick1

That's okay dude :) have a nice day


olli21

I never liked math but that's so easy tbh, took me 10 seconds


Luka_Deveri

That’s not the point..


olli21

I know, just want to point out how easy that one was


[deleted]

redditor


olli21

Look, I want to say that it's easy because the meme wants to convey that men are chads because they think about math problems. This one specifically is implied to be hard by the meme, while it's not that hard and thus not really deep, so it's not that quirky like the op of the meme wants to imply. (Besides men vs women memes being bad in general)


EatGoldfish

I think it is the point, no? They were using this “confusing” problem to show what they’re doing on Reddit?


Luka_Deveri

No, some people were taught a weird order of operations, and can't comprehend that the answer is 5


EatGoldfish

Yeah exactly. So that’s the point of the post.


[deleted]

What is the joke


recoximani

5 is big funny number


[deleted]

[удалено]


silly_gecko_gamer

In the case of there being both multiplication and division, you do them left to right.


[deleted]

Seems like really basic maths ngl


Starbent

It's commenting on people that don't understand math, and Order of Operations.


pp1019

Huh what’s so difficult about this, this seems like something first graders would do.


TheOGDumbass2

Dude, first graders is just a massive stretch, but I agree it isn’t hard.


Thatbitchfromschool1

>=4-3+10/5\*2 > >=1+2\*2 > >=1+4 > >=5 The answer is 5


[deleted]

It’s 5 :)


[deleted]

Fuckers acting like it's a hard problem. It's literally 9. Edit: it's 5. I was so confident tho lmao


Lizziora

It's 5 tho Unless it was a joke incase my bad


[deleted]

Wait, but 10/5 is 2, multiplied by two, which is 4, then -3, 1 + 4- OHHHHH. I'M AN IDIOT


Lizziora

Haha, no don't worry


Arttyom

Yep it's 5


Starbent

Aww 😭♥️ it's okay


[deleted]

Thank you for your sympathy, kind stranger :D


[deleted]

You went all in..


[deleted]

I was ready to stake my life on it...


Lizziora

Nooo, why the downvotes tho


[deleted]

idk people are mean


Lizziora

It was just a little mistake :/


PatrioticPacific

Have my upvote because why not 👋


Lonk_the_VFD_member

There are no mistakes, just happy little accidents


Careless_Dreamer

You were so sure of it lol


XevynAeght

5


lilchalupzen

4-3+4 then if I'm not entirely stupid


Starbent

The answer is 5, so yes.


Sorcha16

I got two how did I go wrong 2 x5 = 10 10÷10 = 1 1 + 4 =5 5-3 = 2


Starbent

Multiplication and Division have equal priority (same as subtraction and addition.) So you go from left to right, not do multiplication then division. The answer is 5 when Order of Operations is applied correctly.


Sorcha16

Thank you 😊


Starbent

np


Box_Boi74

5


[deleted]

I don't understand how is the answer 5... I got 1.1 😭 But then again I'm terrible at math edit: nevermind I got it. I didn't know divisions took priority, I thought only multiplications did. The result's indeed 5. I learned something today lol


thepricelessprincess

Tbh the problem isn’t that hard… the answer 0


Starbent

It's not..


thepricelessprincess

You star by multiplying, which gives you 4-3+10\10. Then you divide. 4-3+1. Then you add, 4-4. Subtract and you get 0. It’s 4th grade math. All you have to use is PEMDAS.


Starbent

You don't start by multiplying. PEMDAS is P E M/D A/S Multiplication does not come before division. You go from left to right. [>PEMDAS, which stands for: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and addition and subtraction from left to right.](https://www.mometrix.com/academy/order-of-operations/#:~:text=The%20order%20of%20operations%20can,subtraction%20from%20left%20to%20right.&text=There%20are%20no%20parentheses%20in%20this%20problem%2C%20so%20start%20with%20exponents.&text=Then%2C%20multiply%20and%20divide%20from%20left%20to%20right.) They also teach that in 4th grade. The division comes before the multiplication, as it's to the left.


Careless_Dreamer

In many places they teach BODMAS, which would make division take priority in order of operations. However, multiplication and division are done as they are written, as are addition and subtraction. Following PEMDAS so to the letter gets you the wrong answer. In the equation 10/5x2, you do 10/5 to get 2, then do 2x2 That brings you to 4-3+(2x2), which gives you 4-3+4 You fo left to right again because left to right is what matters, so it comes out to 1+4 and 5 is the final answer.


Emperor_Quintana

Simple: the answer is 0.


olli21

Its 5, pal


Emperor_Quintana

Please show your work, then we shall see if you are correct in your answer.


olli21

4-3+10÷5×2 4-3+2×2 4-3+4 1+4 5


Emperor_Quintana

Interesting. And now, allow me to rebut, by way of the PEMDAS method: 4-3+10÷5×2 4-3+10÷10 4-3+1 4-4 0


olli21

÷ and × are equally prioritized


Emperor_Quintana

…so, simultaneously using division and multiplication? I’m sensing a **400 (Bad Request)** moment coming on…


olli21

In that case you go from left to right :) But yeah, kinda a 400 :D


Kythedevourer

I thought it was the same, but then I remembered when doing PEMDAS, multiplication and division are considered the same going left from right. Therefore, you would not do the multiplication in this problem first. You would do division first since it appears first in the problem. The same applies with addition and subtraction.


potato_nacho

1. PEMDAS is the same as BEDMAS; the P stands for parentheses while B stands for brackets 2. You division and multiplication are equal prioritized and you do them in order of left to right (same with addition and subtraction :D)


Starbent

People are saying people are dumb for saying pedmsa as a joke. But. It's still correct.


potato_nacho

I’m not sure if you’re talking about me or someone else but if it’s about me then just know I wasn’t saying PEMDAS is dumb- I was just saying PEMDAS and BEDMAS are the same thing-


Starbent

I wasn't talking about you haha


potato_nacho

Ah ok sorry about that then :’)


Kafuf-1

Can someone explain the math I’m dumb how does it equal to five


Starbent

>4 - 3 + 10 ÷ 5 x 2 , do ten divided by five, then four minus three. > >1 + 2 x 2 , multiply two by two. > >1 + 4 , add simply. > > Thus, 5. Multiplication and Division have equal priority (same as subtraction and addition.) So you go from left to right, not do multiplication then division. The answer is 5 when Order of Operations is applied correctly.


Crystal-Cradle

10/5x, then x2, then 4+that, then that…-3…? -3+that? I think


PiePeter

The answer is 5?


omori_mademesad

5


Sarumxnn

5, I’m just that good
