BODMAS is an acronym that stands for "Brackets, Order, Division and Multiplication, and Addition and Subtraction." It is a set of rules used to determine the sequence of operations in mathematical expressions.
To define BODMAS using HTML tags, you can use the following format:

BODMAS is an acronym that represents the order of operations in mathematics. It stands for:
- B - Brackets: Operations within brackets should be performed first.
- O - Order: Operations involving exponents or roots should be performed next.
- DM - Division and Multiplication: Division and multiplication operations should be performed from left to right.
- AS - Addition and Subtraction: Addition and subtraction operations should be performed from left to right.
Following the BODMAS rule helps ensure that mathematical expressions are evaluated correctly, maintaining a consistent and standard order of operations.
For example, consider the expression:
(5 + 2) × 3
Using BODMAS, we evaluate the expression as follows:
- First, we calculate the value inside the brackets: (5 + 2) = 7.
- Then, we perform the multiplication: 7 × 3 = 21.
Therefore, the value of the expression (5 + 2) × 3 is 21.
