What is the Order of Operations?

Back

The Order of Operations is a set of rules that tells us the correct sequence to evaluate a mathematical expression. The order is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS.

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

Solve: 3 + 6 × 2

Back

15 (First, multiply 6 × 2 = 12, then add 3 + 12 = 15).

Front

Solve: 8 - 4 + 2 × 3

Back

10 (First, multiply 2 × 3 = 6, then calculate 8 - 4 + 6 = 10).

Front

What operation do you perform first in 5 + 2 × 3?

Back

Multiplication (You multiply 2 × 3 first, then add 5).

Front

Solve: (2 + 3) × 4

Back

20 (First, add 2 + 3 = 5, then multiply by 4).

Front

What is the result of 10 - 2 × (3 + 1)?

Back

6 (First, solve inside the parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4, then multiply: 2 × 4 = 8, finally subtract: 10 - 8 = 2).

Front

Solve: 12 ÷ 4 + 5 × 2

Back

14 (First, divide: 12 ÷ 4 = 3, then multiply: 5 × 2 = 10, finally add: 3 + 10 = 13).

Front

What is the first step in solving 7 + 3 × 2?

Back

Multiplication (You multiply 3 × 2 first, then add 7).

Front

Solve: 15 + 7 × 2 - 11 + 35

Back

53 (First, multiply: 7 × 2 = 14, then add and subtract in order: 15 + 14 - 11 + 35 = 53).
