Order of Operations with Exponents

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

What is the second step in the order of operations?

Back

The second step is to evaluate Exponents.

Front

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

Back

You perform multiplication first, so 5 × 2 = 10, then add 3 to get 13.

Front

What is the result of 2^3?

Back

2^3 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

Front

In the expression (6 + 2) × 3, what do you calculate first?

Back

You calculate the expression inside the parentheses first: 6 + 2 = 8.

Front

What is the result of 10 - 4 + 2?

Back

You perform subtraction first: 10 - 4 = 6, then add 2 to get 8.

Front

What is the difference between multiplication and division in PEMDAS?

Back

Multiplication and division are performed from left to right, depending on which comes first in the expression.

Front

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

Back

First, calculate (5 - 3) = 2, then 2 × 4 = 8, and finally 8 + 2 = 10.

Front

In the expression 8 ÷ 2 × 4, what is the correct order of operations?

Back

Perform division and multiplication from left to right: 8 ÷ 2 = 4, then 4 × 4 = 16.
