Order of Operations

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression.

Front

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

What operation do you perform first in the expression: 3 + 5 x 2?

Back

Multiplication (5 x 2 = 10), then Addition (3 + 10 = 13).

Front

What is the result of 8 - 2 + 4?

Back

10 (Subtraction first: 8 - 2 = 6, then Addition: 6 + 4 = 10).

Front

In the expression 6 ÷ 2 x 3, which operation do you perform first?

Back

Division (6 ÷ 2 = 3), then Multiplication (3 x 3 = 9).

Front

What is the value of 5 + (3 x 2)?

Back

11 (Calculate inside the parentheses first: 3 x 2 = 6, then 5 + 6 = 11).

Front

What is the result of 4 + 2 + 6 ÷ 1?

Back

12 (Perform division first: 6 ÷ 1 = 6, then 4 + 2 + 6 = 12).

Front

What is the value of 91 + 27 ÷ (72 ÷ 24)?

Back

100 (Calculate inside the parentheses first: 72 ÷ 24 = 3, then 27 ÷ 3 = 9, finally 91 + 9 = 100).

Front

What is the first operation to perform in 10 - 4 ÷ 1 x 5?

Back

Division (4 ÷ 1 = 4, then Multiplication, then Subtraction).

Front

What do you do first in the expression 12 ÷ 3 x 4?

Back

Division (12 ÷ 3 = 4, then Multiplication: 4 x 4 = 16).
