Order of Operations

Front

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

PEMDAS stands for 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

The first step is to solve expressions inside Parentheses.

Front

Evaluate: 5 + 3 × 2

Back

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

Front

Evaluate: (8 - 3) + 2 × 5

Back

15 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 8 - 3 = 5, then 5 + 2 × 5 = 5 + 10 = 15).

Front

What is the result of 12 ÷ (2 + 4)?

Back

2 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 2 + 4 = 6, then 12 ÷ 6 = 2).

Front

Evaluate: 4 + 6 ÷ 2 - 1

Back

8 (First, divide 6 ÷ 2 = 3, then 4 + 3 - 1 = 6).

Front

What is the result of 3 × (2 + 4) - 5?

Back

13 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 2 + 4 = 6, then 3 × 6 - 5 = 18 - 5 = 13).

Front

Evaluate: 10 - 2 × (3 + 1)

Back

6 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4, then 10 - 2 × 4 = 10 - 8 = 2).

Front

What is the order of operations?

Back

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

Front

Evaluate: 7 + 2 × 3 - 4

Back

9 (First, multiply 2 × 3 = 6, then 7 + 6 - 4 = 9).
