It is known as precedence. Anything in brackets is done first. Anything with power of is done next, like squaring or cubing values. Multiplications and Divisions are done next. As the have equal precedence they are done from left to right. Finally addition and subtractions are done. They also have equal precedence, so they are done from left to right. A simple way of remembering is to use the acronym BOMDAS for
Brackets
power Of
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction.
As multiplication and division have equal precedence, you can also think of it as BODMAS.

What software allows users to perform calculations on rows and columns of data?
electronic spreadsheetThe specialised software for this is a 'spreadsheet', probably the most common such software these days is Microsoft Excel. Where most of the data is numbers, then it is best to use a spreadsheet. A database is also capable of doing these calculations, and if calculations are based on text, like you were counting how many different department names there are in a company, a database is better. Most word-processing software also allows a table of rows and columns to be defined in a document and the same sort of calculations can then be carried out within the table, though this would be rarely used for anything more than very simple calculations, and most word processor users would not even be aware that you can do calculations in a word processing table.
Why is rounding important?
Because it enables calculations to be carried out quickly.
Where is the information in DNA and rna carried?
The information in DNA and RNA is carried in the sequence of the nitrogen bases.
What is the sequence in which the operations will need to be carried out?
Operations are almost always carried out in the order of their importance to the task at hand.

What are the advantages of spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet is, in it's most basic form, a large calculator. It's purpose is to perform both simple & complex mathematical calculations. Spreadsheets are extremely powerful and are used for 'number crunching' - (calculations on lots of figures) and also allow mathematical formulae to be applied. A good example of spreadsheet use would be to calculate sales profits for the current year which need to be presented in a graph. The range of formulae that can be applied is vast and ranging from the most basic (adding two numbers together) to complex calculations such as applying 'what if' scenarios. The spreadsheet should not be confused with a database (although it has limited database functionality) and should not be used to store mailing lists or other data records - this is a common mistake (see above the reference to somebody using a spreadsheet to create a resume). The sheet itself is comprised of columns (vertical) and rows (horizontal) which are in turn, made up of cells. It can be used for keeping small business accounting records if the company does not generate enough revenue to warrant the cost of accounting software. In short: the main advantage of a spreadsheet is when complex mathematical calculations need to be carried out on large amounts of numerical data. It's a powerful, complex calculator.

Does sugar carry information in DNA?
No, the "information" is carried with the nitrogenous bases and their sequence.
Who discovered bodmas rule?
The BODMAS rule was not discovered: it was invented as a convention. The purpose in setting out the convention was so that calculations were carried out in the same way by different people and at different times.
