Front

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

Back

The first step is to solve any operations inside Parentheses.

Front

Solve this expression: 5 + (3 x 2)

Back

11

Front

What does the 'E' in PEMDAS represent?

Back

The 'E' stands for Exponents.

Front

Solve this expression: (6 + 2) x 3

Back

24

Front

What is the result of 8 - 3 + 2?

Back

7 (because you perform addition and subtraction from left to right).

Front

Which operation do you perform first in the expression 4 + 2 x 3?

Back

You perform multiplication first, so 2 x 3 = 6, then add 4 to get 10.

Front

Solve this expression: 10 - (2 + 3) x 2

Back

0 (because you solve inside the parentheses first: 2 + 3 = 5, then 10 - 5 x 2 = 0).

Front

What is the result of 9 - 4 x 2 + 1?

Back

The result is 2 (because you perform multiplication first: 4 x 2 = 8, then 9 - 8 + 1 = 2).

Front

What does the 'A' in PEMDAS stand for?

Back

The 'A' stands for Addition.
