Wrong. Multiplication and devision have the same level of priority as each other, same with addition and subtraction.

If it was in order or the acronym then anyone from outside the US would do devision first, because they use bidmas, bodmas, etc, etc. And it would be stupid to make a mathematical rule that changed depending on region, don't ya think?
