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: 3 + 5 × 2

Back

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

Front

Evaluate: (8 - 3) × 4

Back

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

Front

What does the E in PEMDAS stand for?

Back

Exponent.

Front

Evaluate: 14 + (22 - 2)

Back

34 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 22 - 2 = 20, then add 14.)

Front

Which operation is performed FIRST in: (13 - 1) + 4?

Back

Subtraction inside of grouping symbols.

Front

Evaluate: 90 - 5² × 3

Back

15 (First, calculate 5² = 25, then multiply by 3 = 75, and finally subtract from 90.)

Front

What is the result of 6 + 2 × (3 + 1)?

Back

14 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4, then multiply 2 × 4 = 8, and finally add 6.)

Front

Evaluate: 12 ÷ 4 + 3 × 2

Back

9 (First, divide 12 ÷ 4 = 3, then multiply 3 × 2 = 6, and finally add 3 + 6.)
