Order of Operations

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

List the correct order of operations.

Back

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

Front

What operation do you perform first in the expression 7 x (7 - 4) ÷ 3?

Back

Calculate the expression inside the parentheses: 7 - 4 = 3.

Front

Solve: 20 - 5 x 2

Back

10 (Perform multiplication first: 5 x 2 = 10, then subtract: 20 - 10 = 10).

Front

In the expression 10 - 4 ÷ 1 x 5, which operation is performed first?

Back

Division (4 ÷ 1 = 4, then multiply by 5).

Front

What is the result of (3 + 4) x 9 + 3?

Back

66 (First, calculate the parentheses: 3 + 4 = 7, then multiply: 7 x 9 = 63, and finally add: 63 + 3 = 66).

Front

What does 'parentheses' mean in the context of order of operations?

Back

Parentheses are used to indicate which operations should be performed first in a mathematical expression.

Front

What is the purpose of using exponents in mathematics?

Back

Exponents indicate how many times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself.

Front

Solve: 8 + 2 x 5

Back

18 (Perform multiplication first: 2 x 5 = 10, then add: 8 + 10 = 18).

Front

What is the result of 15 ÷ 3 + 4 x 2?

Back

11 (Perform division first: 15 ÷ 3 = 5, then multiplication: 4 x 2 = 8, and finally add: 5 + 8 = 11).
