Are you having a break from the religious discussions, Bob?

BODMAS (Brackets of DIVISION, MULTIPLICATION, ADDITION and SUBTRACTION) - in that order.

6 - 1 X 0 + (2 / 2) = 6 - 1 X 0 + 1

6 - (1 X 0) + 1 = 6 - 0 + 1

6 - (0 + 1 ) = 6 - 1

6 - 1 = 5

It's a stupid question without the Parentheses. There are too many ways to get different results.

Will have the answer when enough people prove how good or bad they are at math.

There is ONLY one correct answer - you follow BODMAS - it's basic math. It's taught in primary school.

Where there are no brackets, to work the sum out you use BODMAS.

Brackets Of Division Multiplication Addition and Subtraction - in that order.

So, in this sum, you put in brackets - (there is no of, like square roots) so first the division, then the multiplication, then the addition then the subtraction, giving you an answer of 5.

There is only one answer to this sum.

I'll give the answer when 20 people have had a go.

Opps I actually worked that out wrong

BODMAS - (Brackets OF Division / Multiplication, Addition / Subtraction).

You work left to right with the DM, AS

6-1X0+2/2 =

6 - Left + right

6 - (1 X 0)+ (2/ 2) = 6 - 0 + 1

= 7.

*rolls eyes* bad bad bad teacher.

To be fair, any online calculator will do it, so unless you're showing the workings out you used, chances are you googled (online calculator) and put the answer in.

Nah, Bet Bob just started this thread cos' he's sick of all the political posting. Bit hard to make a political statement from this thread but who knows - the usual suspects manage to on other threads all the time.;-)

BODMAS (Brackets of DIVISION, MULTIPLICATION, ADDITION and SUBTRACTION) - in that order.

6 - 1 X 0 + (2 / 2) = 6 - 1 X 0 + 1

6 - (1 X 0) + 1 = 6 - 0 + 1

6 - (0 + 1 ) = 6 - 1

6 - 1 = 5

you have already used the 0, can you use it again??

If you have to google, you obvious can't do it or don't trust yourself enough to it. You know who you are.
