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 is the first step in the Order of Operations?

Back

Perform calculations inside Parentheses.

Front

What is the second step in the Order of Operations?

Back

Calculate Exponents.

Front

In the expression 3 + 5 x 2, which operation do you perform first?

Back

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

Front

What is the result of 6 + 2 x 3?

Back

12 (2 x 3 = 6, then 6 + 6 = 12).

Front

In the expression (4 + 2) x 3, what do you calculate first?

Back

Calculate inside the Parentheses (4 + 2 = 6), then multiply by 3.

Front

What is the value of 5 x (3 + 2) - 4?

Back

21 (3 + 2 = 5, then 5 x 5 = 25, and 25 - 4 = 21).

Front

Which operation is performed first in the expression 10 - 4 ÷ 2?

Back

Division (4 ÷ 2 = 2), then Subtraction (10 - 2 = 8).

Front

What is the result of 8 - 3 + 2?

Back

7 (8 - 3 = 5, then 5 + 2 = 7).
