Front

Calculate: 3 + 5 × 2

Back

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

Front

Calculate: (4 + 6) × 2

Back

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

Front

True or False: Multiplication comes before Addition in the Order of Operations.

Back

True

Front

What operation should be performed first in the expression 8 - 3 + 2?

Back

Subtraction (8 - 3 = 5, then add 2)

Front

Calculate: 10 - (2 + 3) × 2

Back

0 (First calculate inside the parentheses: 2 + 3 = 5, then multiply by 2: 5 × 2 = 10, finally subtract: 10 - 10 = 0)

Front

What is the result of 5 + 2 × 3 - 4 ÷ 2?

Back

10 (First multiply: 2 × 3 = 6, then divide: 4 ÷ 2 = 2, then add and subtract: 5 + 6 - 2 = 9)

Front

Calculate: 6 + 2 × (3 + 1)

Back

14 (First calculate inside the parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4, then multiply: 2 × 4 = 8, finally add: 6 + 8 = 14)

Front

True or False: Division always comes before Addition.

Back

True
