1) If an expression contains brackets, the expression within the brackets should be simplified first.
2) If the expression involves ‘of’, multiplication (or division), addition and subtraction, then ‘of’ should
be performed first , followed by multiplication or division, then proceeding from the left to the right ,
addition and subtraction are carried out in order in which the sign of addition and subtraction are given .
it given be noted that if the expression contain ‘of’ and ‘division’, always do ‘of’ first and then do
division , in order to get the carried out answer .
3) if the expression involves all the four operation, then multiplication and division are carried out first in
the order in which they are given from left to right . This order also applies to the operations of addition
and subtraction, which are carried out later.

SOLUTION :-
= 5 - (1/3 + 4)
= 5 - 13/3
= 11/2 - 13/3
= 7/6
= 1 .

= 4 - 112 / 225
= =
= 3 .
3. 1 – {1 ÷[1 + 3 ÷ (4 + 1÷ ( 2+(1÷7)))]} = ?
SOLUTION :-
1 – {1 ÷[1 + 3 ÷ (4 + 1÷ ( 2+(1÷7)))]}
= 1 – {1 ÷[1 + 3 ÷ (4 + 1÷ ( 2+(1÷7)))]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [ 1 + 3 ÷ ( 4 + 1 ÷ ( 2 +1/7))]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [ 1 + 3 ÷ ( 4 + 1 ÷ 15 / 7)]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [ 1 + 3 ÷ ( 4 + 1 × 7 / 15)]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [ 1 + 3 ÷ ( 4 + 7 / 15)]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [ 1 + 3 ÷ ( 67 / 15)]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [ 1 + 3 × 15 / 67]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [ 1 + 45/67]}
= 1 – { 1 ÷ [112/67]}
= 1 – {67/112}
= .
4. 7 of 168 + 3 ¼ of 612 = 3 ¾ of ? + 2 ½ of 8 + 2
SOLUTION:-

3 ¾ of ? + 2 ½ of 8 + 2 = 7 of 168 + 3 ¼ of 612
3 ¾ of ? = 7 of 168 + 3 ¼ of 612 - 2 ½ of 8 - 2
= 23 × 56 + 13 × 153 - 5 × 4 -2
15/4 × ? = 3277 – 22
15/4 × ? = 3255
? = 3255 × 4/15
= 217 × 4 = 868.
5. 30 - ( 2 × 6 + 15 ÷ 3) + 8 × 3 ÷ 6
SOLUTION:-
30 - ( 2 × 6 + 15 ÷ 3) + 8 × 3 ÷ 6
Now = 30 - 17 + 8 × 3 ÷ 6
= 30 - 17 + 8 × ½
= 30 - 17 + 4 = 17.
