Nah, its actually 1.5, divide does come before addition...

BIDMAS

hmm...

M - multiplication
D - division
A - adition
S - Subtraction

PEMDAS!

I thougt brackets were always first. It is the tohers I always get mixed up with.

PEMDAS is the American way of doing it, BIDMAS is what we're taught in England.

PEMDAS (for Parentheses, Exponentiation, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)
BIDMAS (for Brackets, Indeces, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)

B=brackets
I=?
d=division
m=multiplication
a=addition
s=subtraction

So, exponents equal indeces? Right?

Yep and exponentiation may be called Indices, Powers or Orders as well.

1-1=1

Well, i should say multiplication/

3*3=9
3+3=6

multiplication is higher if you use numbers higher than two >_>...

So overall it depends on the number.

we always use pemdas at my school
multiplication is higher
