If you actually remember your acronyms, MD/AS and DM/AS, respectively, are put together and solved left-to-right.
Parentheses Brackets Exponents Exponents Multiplication/Division Division/Multiplication Addition/Subtraction Addition/Subtraction
[COLOR="green"]The difference is PEMDAS says that Multiplication comes before Division in case of a tie. BEDMAS says the other way around.
It all depends on how your brain actually interprets the fraction, since fractions usually don't get written sideways.[/COLOR]
