What is the first step in solving an expression using PEMDAS?

Back

The first step is to solve any operations inside Parentheses.

Front

What is the result of the expression: 3 + 5 × 2?

Back

The result is 13, because you multiply first: 5 × 2 = 10, then add: 3 + 10 = 13.

Front

Front

What is the term for the answer to a division problem?

Back

Quotient.

Front

What is the term for the answer to a subtraction problem?

Back

Difference.

Front

What is the term for the answer to a multiplication problem?

Back

Product.

Front

Evaluate the expression: 4 × (3 + 2).

Back

The answer is 20, because you first solve inside the parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5, then multiply: 4 × 5 = 20.

Front

Evaluate the expression: (8 - 3) + 2 × 5.

Back

The answer is 15, because you first solve inside the parentheses: 8 - 3 = 5, then multiply: 2 × 5 = 10, and finally add: 5 + 10 = 15.

Front

Which operation do you perform first in the expression: 6 + 2 × 3?

Back

You perform multiplication first, so 2 × 3 = 6, then add: 6 + 6 = 12.
