Depends on the brackets assumed!  (9 + 0 + 9 + 0 + 9) x 0 + 9= 9 9 + 0 + 9 + 0 + (9 x 0) + 9= 27 (9 + 0 + 9 + 0 + 9) x (0 + 9)= 243 (9 + 0 + 9) + 0 + 9 x (0 + 9)= 1458 etc etc |

There are no brackets, and it's not a mathematical question anyway.

If you assume that you do all multiplications before additions, then the answer is 27, which is a little high for an ideal Body Mass, Clanky, but you'll get there  |

Personally I rolled with "as it is written" first ( 9 ), and then BODMAS ( 27 ). Multiplication before addition and all that xx PS: Sorry to disappoint, Dixie |

Actually I will cede to 27, what was I thinking, gutted it's a straight mathematical question though - how dull Elle.

Why do you have to do multiplication first if there are no brackets?
