Order of Operations - 6th

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

The Order of Operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression. The order is: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (from left to right), Addition/Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

How do you express repeated multiplication using exponents?

Back

Repeated multiplication can be expressed using exponents. For example, 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 can be written as 2^4.

Front

What is the first operation performed in the expression (5 + 3) x 2?

Back

The first operation performed is the addition inside the parentheses: (5 + 3) = 8.

Front

What does 9^5 represent?

Back

9^5 represents the number 9 multiplied by itself 5 times: 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9.

Front

In the expression 13 - 1 + 4, which operation is performed second?

Back

The second operation performed is addition.

Front

What is the value of 6^3?

Back

6^3 is equal to 6 x 6 x 6, which equals 216.

Front

What is the purpose of parentheses in mathematical expressions?

Back

Parentheses indicate which operations should be performed first in an expression.

Front

How do you simplify the expression 4 x (2 + 3)?

Back

First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: 2 + 3 = 5. Then multiply: 4 x 5 = 20.

Front

What is the difference between multiplication and division in the Order of Operations?

Back

Multiplication and division are performed from left to right, meaning they are of equal priority.

Front

What is an exponent?

Back

An exponent is a number that indicates how many times to multiply the base by itself.
