Yes, that is right. It's a proper maths equation, so the answer is 5!golfaddick said:Depends how it is written.
Does bodmas come into it if you just put the figures into a calculator....no.
That being the case the answer is 5.
If you were going it as a proper maths equation then the answer is 120.0 -
5! all day long,well for me anyways,I just worked it like this...
230-220 (=10) x 0.5 = 5!
wrong way by the sound of it,but heyho if 5! is the answer...👍
& who is BODMAS...🤔1 -
5 is wrong.
5! is right.3 -
I don’t.stackitsteve said:Good question.
all comes down to if you know the difference between 5 and 5!0 -
That's the sort of answer I would have come up with in maths tests at school. I would have set out all my workings, made it absolutely clear what I was trying to do, got all the arithmetic right, but then got the answer completely wrong, having totally missed the point.NorthheathAddick said:5 all day long,well for me anyways,I just worked it like this...

Depends on the calculator, you can't put the whole equation into a standard calculator, so bodmas does apply, it's just that the calculator you're using is incapable of applying it.golfaddick said:Depends how it is written.
Does bodmas come into it if you just put the figures into a calculator....no.
That being the case the answer is 5.
If you were going it as a proper maths equation then the answer is 120.
Morning you have a decent calculator, like the ones recommended for GCSE and A level use, then you can enter the whole equation at once and the calculator will apply bodmas correctly.0 -
Use brackets and there will only be one answer0

The answer is 5! Even if the calculator says it's 120.randy andy said:

There can be several answers to an equation. One of the correct ones is 5!thai malaysia addick said:Use brackets and there will only be one answer0 -
Haha...yeah see now wot I didn't do...🙄,I'm on the edit,but still same work out...😉Chizz said:

Slow day1

Sorry yes that is what I meant. I completely agreeChizz said:
Yes, that's right. But the equation gives the answer 5! And that is, de facto, correct.bellz2002 said:Yes but 5! = 120 = 5! = 6x20 = 5! = 10x12 = 5!
As far as I see it, it is the same therefore if you put 120 or 5! It makes no difference. It is the same.

I would say 120 because of the absence of brackets.0

A purist may say it's neither right or wrong. It's just TRUE2

So many idiots.

120Chizz said:One for maths geeks.
Without giving it away, do you think- it's right, but you're not sure what's clever about it?
- it's right, but you have to have a pretty good understanding of maths to know why?
- it's wrong
