Step 7
Addition left to right: 6 + 18 + 2 = 26
Final Answer: 26
Another Time-Saving Trick: When dealing with fractions, treat the numerator and denominator as separate BODMAS problems. Solve each completely, then divide.
Common Mistake: Students often solve operations left to right without following BODMAS priority. For example, in 2 + 3 × 4, wrong approach gives (2 + 3) × 4 = 20, but correct BODMAS gives 2 + (3 × 4) = 14. Another trap is forgetting that Division and Multiplication are equal priority, same with Addition and Subtraction.
