ORDER OF OPERATIONS

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines 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).

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

PEMDAS is an acronym for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction, which helps remember the order of operations.

Front

Solve: 5 + 3 × 2

Back

11 (Multiplication is done first: 3 × 2 = 6, then 5 + 6 = 11).

Front

Solve: (4 + 2) × 3

Back

18 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 4 + 2 = 6, then multiply: 6 × 3 = 18).

Front

What is the first step in the Order of Operations?

Back

The first step is to solve expressions inside Parentheses.

Front

Solve: 8 - (3 + 2) × 2

Back

8 - 10 = -2 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5, then multiply: 5 × 2 = 10, finally subtract: 8 - 10 = -2).

Front

What is the result of 6 ÷ 2 + 3?

Back

6 ÷ 2 + 3 = 6 (First, divide: 6 ÷ 2 = 3, then add: 3 + 3 = 6).

Front

Solve: 10 - 2 × 3 + 1

Back

5 (First, multiply: 2 × 3 = 6, then subtract: 10 - 6 = 4, finally add: 4 + 1 = 5).

Front

What is the importance of the Order of Operations?

Back

It ensures that everyone calculates expressions in the same way, leading to consistent and correct results.

Front

Solve: (5 - 2) + (3 × 4)

Back

15 (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 5 - 2 = 3 and 3 × 4 = 12, then add: 3 + 12 = 15).
