Maths. Ask him what is the answer to the following equation?

7 + 7 ÷ 7 + 7 x 7 - 7


Try using BODMAS, or BIDMAS.

Depends which you have been taught.


BODMAS, BIDMAS.. I have also heard BEDMAS and PEDMAS.

So much for mnemonic.. it's pretty confusing in itself! :)

Answer 7


If you use MS Excel then the answer is 50. It seems there are more than one correct answer to the question, but which one is the correct correct answer?

I'm Head of Maths at a University, and I have this one on my wall:

https://www.zazzle.co.uk/mathematical_equations_personalizable_clock-256783875114800809

It's accurate, with the exception of 9 o'clock (the value you'd get is slightly more than 9), but I tell myself that it's printed very slightly higher than the 9 o'clock position.

An alternative would be any of these:

https://mathsgear.co.uk/search?type=product&q=clock

The website is run by academics, and so you can be sure that they are mathematically sound.

Somebody, thank you so much for that answer. Possibly it would simply amuse my son if one of them were wrong, but if it were me I couldn't bear to look at it!

Thanks again for your help, I'll have a look at both links and make a decision.
