Order of Operation

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: 5 + 2 x 3

Back

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

Front

Which operation is performed FIRST in the expression: 8 + (3 x 2)?

Back

Multiplication (3 x 2 = 6, then add 8).

Front

Solve: (6 + 4) x 2

Back

20 (First add 6 + 4 = 10, then multiply by 2).

Front

What is the result of: 10 - 2 + 3?

Back

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

Front

Solve: 12 ÷ (2 + 4)

Back

2 (First add 2 + 4 = 6, then divide 12 by 6).

Front

What is the value of: 3 x (4 + 5) - 2?

Back

25 (First add 4 + 5 = 9, then multiply by 3 = 27, and finally subtract 2).

Front

Solve: 15 - (3 x 4) + 2

Back

5 (First multiply 3 x 4 = 12, then subtract from 15 = 3, and finally add 2).

Front

What is the first step in solving: 25 x (3 - 1)?

Back

Subtract (3 - 1 = 2, then multiply by 25).
