The substance of both rules is the same. It's just different names for the first two operations, and an arbitrarily swapped M&D that are both have the same priority anyway. I prefer GEMA: Groupings, Exponents, Multiplicatives, Additives. M would include both M & D, and A would include both A and S, with division signs and minus signs only applying to the term immediately to the right, if not otherwise noted.
I still think it's more logical to use a set a list of prioritizations instead of reading from left to right cause I think every equation should be able to be tackled from every way you look at it. Prioritizing multiplication before division before addition before subtraction
It's the same thing. Just different names for brackets instead of parentheses, and orders instead of exponents. The substance of both rules is still the same. The order of m & d in the mnemonic is completely arbitrary. Multiplication and division both have the same priority, and get evaluated in the order they appear from left to right.
Mam lot of calculator's use PEMDAS but pemdas is completely wrong the correct one is PEJMDAS multiplication by juxtaposition hence answer is 1 not 16 u can read journals
Not in this case! In more complex equations or different writing styles, PEMDAS and BODMAS not really work, because of a lack in the used writing style. You know this equation “6 / 2(2 + 1)”, this is written in a poor style, so it is possible to interpret the equation in multiple ways.
