SOL 5.7 Order of Operations Pre-Test

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).

Front

What does 'Parentheses' mean in Order of Operations?

Back

Parentheses are symbols used to group numbers and operations together. Calculations inside parentheses should be done first.

Front

What is the first step in solving the expression: 61 + 4 × (5 + 10) ÷ 5?

Back

Calculate the expression inside the parentheses: 5 + 10 = 15.

Front

What is the second operation performed in the expression: 6 ÷ 2 - 2 × (7-2)?

Back

The second operation is 6 ÷ 2.

Front

How do you simplify the expression: 11 - 3 x 2 - 3 + 4?

Back

First, perform the multiplication: 3 x 2 = 6. Then, simplify: 11 - 6 - 3 + 4 = 6.

Front

What is the result of the expression: 9 + 2 x 2 x 3?

Back

First, perform the multiplication: 2 x 2 x 3 = 12. Then, add: 9 + 12 = 21.

Front

What does 'Multiplication' mean in the context of Order of Operations?

Back

Multiplication is one of the basic arithmetic operations, and it is performed after parentheses and exponents, but before addition and subtraction.

Front

What is the result of the expression: (6 - 1) x (4 - 3)?

Back

First, calculate inside the parentheses: (6 - 1) = 5 and (4 - 3) = 1. Then multiply: 5 x 1 = 5.

Front

What is the role of 'Exponents' in Order of Operations?

Back

Exponents indicate how many times a number is multiplied by itself and are calculated after parentheses but before multiplication and division.

Front

What is the difference between Addition and Subtraction in Order of Operations?

Back

Addition combines numbers to get a larger number, while subtraction takes away from a number to get a smaller number. They are performed from left to right after multiplication and division.
