Front

What operation do you perform first in the expression: 5 + (3 × 2)?

Back

You perform the multiplication inside the parentheses first.

Front

Solve: 3 + 4 × 2

Back

11 (First, multiply 4 × 2 = 8, then add 3).

Front

What is the result of: (8 - 3) + 2 × 5?

Back

The result is 10 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 8 - 3 = 5, then 5 + 2 × 5 = 5 + 10 = 15).

Front

Which operation comes first in: 12 ÷ 4 + 3?

Back

Division comes first.

Front

Solve: 6 + 2 × (3 + 1)

Back

The answer is 14 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4, then 2 × 4 = 8, and finally 6 + 8 = 14).

Front

What is the value of: 10 - 2 × 3 + 1?

Back

The value is 5 (First, do multiplication: 2 × 3 = 6, then 10 - 6 + 1 = 5).

Front

In the expression 7 + 2 × 3, which operation do you perform first?

Back

You perform multiplication first.

Front

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

Back

The result is 12 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 5 + 3 = 8, then 8 × 2 = 16, and finally 16 - 4 = 12).
