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

Solve: 3 + 5 x 2

Back

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

Front

Solve: (8 - 3) x 4

Back

20 (First, subtract 8 - 3 = 5, then multiply by 4.)

Front

What is the result of 6 ÷ 2(1 + 2)?

Back

9 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 1 + 2 = 3, then 6 ÷ 2 = 3, and finally 3 x 3 = 9.)

Front

Solve: 10 - 2 + 4 x 3

Back

14 (First, multiply 4 x 3 = 12, then 10 - 2 + 12 = 20.)

Front

What is the first step in the Order of Operations?

Back

Solve expressions inside parentheses.

Front

Solve: 5 + (3 x 2) - 4

Back

7 (First, multiply 3 x 2 = 6, then 5 + 6 - 4 = 7.)

Front

What is the result of 12 - 4 x 2?

Back

4 (First, multiply 4 x 2 = 8, then 12 - 8 = 4.)

Front

Solve: (10 + 2) ÷ 4 x 3

Back

9 (First, add 10 + 2 = 12, then divide by 4 = 3, and finally multiply by 3 = 9.)
