BODMAS – Brackets of Division, Multiplication, Addition, And Subtraction which is a principle employed to solve mathematical problems and taught to students right from school levels, suddenly started trending on Twitter and Twitterati even took to this trend to solve fundamental mathematical equations. The question was this 8/2 (2+2). This trend was even lapped up by popular eSports Team SOUL who won hearts at the recently concluded PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 (PMCO 2019).

Why is BODMAS trending everywhere? Ask Twitterati

As soon as BODMAS went viral, Team SOUL took to even solving the above fundamental equation in mathematics:

According to me we have study BODMAS...
8/2(2+2)
=8/2*4
Now Divide
4*4
16..#Maths

Twitterati also had lots to offer as far as revisiting BODMAS is concerned:

Correct hai bhai!

The answer to this is 16. You use BIDMAS/BODMAS to answer it. So brackets first then divide then multiply. pic.twitter.com/xQxh06eLel

dude if you solve brackets first you need to multiply 4 with 2.. the answer is 1

Question is not clear , a double meaning question would have a double meaning answer s, we use numerator and denominator to write on paper , we use ÷,/ to replicate them but it's not perfect way to represent the question,

You need to see the how bracket is created.

8 ÷ 2 x (2+2) = 8 ÷ 2 x 4 = 4 x 4 = 16

RULE is STEP-BY-STEP following of "BODMAS" Rule
(B racket)
O (f)
D ÷ ivision
M × ultiplication
A + ddition

Why??? Why is BODMAS trending 🤔🤔 thought it was the school holidays 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/u1tirUqaHE

At this point in time, it is definitely good to revisit fundamental mathematical principles taught in school; these could serve as refreshers in today’s digital age of “short-lived memories”.
