DMAS RULE
IMPORTANT POINTS
Division, multiplication, addition, subtraction
Question
12 – 5 x 2
Solution : 12- 5 x 2 = 12- 10
=2
Question
5+4×3–9÷3
Sol. In this example, all the four operations are there, so we have to use
DMAS rule.
5+ 4 × 3 – 9 ÷ 3= 5 + 4 × 3 – 3 (Division: 9 ÷ 3 = 3)
= 5 + 12 – 3 (Multiplication: 4 × 3 = 12)
= 17 – 3 (Addition: 5 + 12 = 17)
= 14 (Subtraction: 17 – 3 = 14)
Question
16 – 2 x 48 ÷ 6 + 5
Solution: 16 – 2 x 48 ÷ 6 + 5 =16 – 2 x 8 + 5
=16 – 16+ 5
= -5
Question
36 ÷ (8 + 2) – 3 x 2
Solution: 36 ÷ (8 + 2) – 3 x 2 =36 ÷ 10 – 3 x 2
= 3.6 -3 x 2
= 3.6 -6
= – 2.4
