Tech Math: Bedmas

 

** 
Relevant Material: "BEDMAS (or the order of operations) is applied in real life for scenarios like calculating costs, preparing recipes, and designing products, where consistent results are necessary. Examples include splitting a restaurant bill, figuring out the total cost of groceries, or determining the amount of materials needed for a construction project. 
Budgeting and finance 
  • Calculating total cost: When shopping, you might have to calculate the total cost of items that are on sale. For example, if you buy 3 shirts at
    $15$ 15
    each and a pair of socks for
    $5$ 5
    , you can use BEDMAS:
    (3×15)+5=45+5=$50open paren 3 cross 15 close paren plus 5 equals 45 plus 5 equals $ 50
    .
  • Splitting bills: You can determine your share of a bill, including tax and tip, by applying the order of operations. 
Cooking and recipes 
  • Adjusting ingredient amounts: If you want to make a recipe for a larger or smaller group, you can use multiplication or division. If a recipe for 4 people calls for 2 cups of flour and you need to make it for 6 people, you can set up the calculation as
    (2÷4)×6=3open paren 2 divided by 4 close paren cross 6 equals 3
    cups of flour.
     
Design and manufacturing 
Material estimation: When designing or manufacturing a product, it's crucial to calculate the correct amount of materials. An incorrect order of operations could lead to under-ordering or over-purchasing materials.
 Dosage calculations: Healthcare professionals use the order of operations to correctly calculate medication dosages based on factors like body weight and the amount of medication already given.
 Travel: Calculating the total time or cost for a trip often requires using BEDMAS, especially when combining different modes of travel or dealing with variables like fuel costs..." (Google)
