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

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

Evaluate: 3 + 5 x 2

Back

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

Front

Evaluate: (4 + 6) x 2

Back

20 (First, add 4 + 6 = 10, then multiply by 2).

Front

What is the first operation to perform in the expression: 7 + (3 x 2)?

Back

Parentheses (perform the operation inside the parentheses first).

Front

Evaluate: 2^3 + 4

Back

12 (2^3 = 8, then add 4).

Front

What is the result of 10 - 2 x 3?

Back

4 (First, multiply 2 x 3 = 6, then subtract from 10).

Front

Evaluate: 5 + 2^2 x 3

Back

17 (First, calculate 2^2 = 4, then multiply by 3 = 12, and finally add 5).

Front

What is the value of 6 x (2 + 4)?

Back

36 (First, add 2 + 4 = 6, then multiply by 6).

Front

Evaluate: 8 - 3 + 2 x 5

Back

15 (First, multiply 2 x 5 = 10, then perform 8 - 3 + 10).
