Question

Nadia entered 5+2x4 on computer. Computer displays the answer 13 .Nadia believes that computer made an error and the correct answer should be 28 .Do you agree with Nadia? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

I dont agree with nadia because as we should apply bodmas rule so as first multiplication should be done then addition.

Answer 2

No, Nadia's assumption is wrong. Nadia got the answer by first adding and then multiplying but according to BODMAS rule, we should first multiply and then add and this is what computer did. ............. So first multiply 4 & 2 and then add 5 to the product....... So , computer's calculation was correct and Nadia was wrong.
