18 ÷ 3*3

According to PEMDAS:
I have this answer: 2
but in this video i see, i found this anser: 18 !!

I begin with multiplication first, then the division. In the video, they began with division, then the multiplication. So, what's the correct answer?

Well! According to the BODMAS RULE, DIVISON COMES FIRST. the answer is 18 according to BODMAS.

Also when only divison and multiplication are involved, then you should solve the sum in the order of the operations i.e in this case divison first and multiplication next.

Same goes for only addition and subtraction.... just follow the operations on first cum first basis

Then answer is 18 from both the perspertives...

I hope this really helped!!!
