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

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

PEMDAS is an acronym that stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

Solve: 3 + 5 x 2

Back

13 (First, multiply 5 x 2 = 10, then add 3.)

Front

Solve: (6 + 2) x 3

Back

24 (First, add 6 + 2 = 8, then multiply by 3.)

Front

True or False: Multiplication comes before addition in the Order of Operations.

Back

True.

Front

What is the first step in the Order of Operations?

Back

The first step is to solve expressions inside Parentheses.

Front

Solve: 10 - 2 + 4

Back

12 (Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.)

Front

Solve: 5 + (3 x 2)

Back

11 (First, multiply 3 x 2 = 6, then add 5.)

Front

What is the result of 8 ÷ 2(2 + 2)?

Back

16 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 2 + 2 = 4, then 8 ÷ 2 = 4, and finally 4 x 4 = 16.)

Front

Solve: 4 + 3 x (2 + 1)

Back

13 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 2 + 1 = 3, then multiply: 3 x 3 = 9, and finally add: 4 + 9 = 13.)
