Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines the correct sequence to evaluate 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

What is the first step in solving 2(8) - 9 + 7?

Back

Multiply 2 by 8 to get 16.

Front

What is the second step in solving 2(8) - 9 + 7?

Back

Subtract 9 from 16 to get 7.

Front

What is the third step in solving 2(8) - 9 + 7?

Back

Add 7 to 7 to get 14.

Front

What is the result of (4 - 2) + 9 x 7?

Back

First, calculate 9 x 7 = 63, then add 2 to get 65.

Front

What is the result of 6 + (4)3?

Back

Calculate 4 x 3 = 12, then add 6 to get 18.

Front

What is the result of (4 x 8) - (9 + 7)?

Back

Calculate 4 x 8 = 32, then (9 + 7) = 16, so 32 - 16 = 16.

Front

What is the result of 16 ÷ 2 x 4 - 3?

Back

Calculate 16 ÷ 2 = 8, then 8 x 4 = 32, and finally 32 - 3 = 29.

Front

What is the importance of parentheses in order of operations?

Back

Parentheses indicate which operations should be performed first.
