PMDAS/GMDAS Rule

What is the value of 3 + 5 × 2?

• 8

• 13

• 10

• 16

Answer explanation

According to the order of operations (PMDAS/GMDAS), we first perform multiplication. So, 5 × 2 = 10. Then, we add 3: 3 + 10 = 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 13.

Evaluate: (8 - 3) × 4 + 2.

• 22

• 20

• 18

• 26

Answer explanation

First, calculate inside the parentheses: (8 - 3) = 5. Then multiply: 5 × 4 = 20. Finally, add 2: 20 + 2 = 22. Thus, the correct answer is 22.

Calculate: 6 + 2 × (3 + 1).

• 14

• 12

• 10

• 8

Answer explanation

First, solve the expression inside the parentheses: 3 + 1 = 4. Then, multiply: 2 × 4 = 8. Finally, add: 6 + 8 = 14. Thus, the correct answer is 14.

What is 10 - 2 × 3 + 5?

• 9

• 12

• 7

• 8

Answer explanation

To solve 10 - 2 × 3 + 5, follow the order of operations: first, multiply 2 × 3 = 6. Then, calculate 10 - 6 + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9. Thus, the correct answer is 9.

Evaluate: 5 × (2 + 3) - 4.

• 21

• 25

• 15

• 10

Answer explanation

First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: 2 + 3 = 5. Then, multiply by 5: 5 × 5 = 25. Finally, subtract 4: 25 - 4 = 21. Thus, the correct answer is 21.

What is the result of 12 ÷ 4 + 6 × 2?

• 15

• 12

• 18

• 10

Answer explanation

To solve 12 ÷ 4 + 6 × 2, follow the order of operations: first, divide 12 by 4 to get 3, then multiply 6 by 2 to get 12. Finally, add 3 and 12 to get 15. Thus, the correct answer is 15.

Calculate: (7 + 3) × (2 - 1).

• 10

• 5

• 12

• 8

Answer explanation

First, calculate inside the parentheses: (7 + 3) = 10 and (2 - 1) = 1. Then, multiply the results: 10 × 1 = 10. Therefore, the correct answer is 10.

What is 15 - (3 + 2) × 2?

• 5

• 0

• 8

• 10

Answer explanation

First, calculate the expression in parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5. Then, multiply by 2: 5 × 2 = 10. Finally, subtract from 15: 15 - 10 = 5. Thus, the correct answer is 5.

Evaluate: 9 + 6 ÷ 2 - 1.

• 14

• 10

• 7

• 11

Answer explanation

First, perform the division: 6 ÷ 2 = 3. Then, add and subtract in order: 9 + 3 - 1 = 11. Thus, the correct answer is 11.

What is the value of 4 × (3 + 5) - 10 ÷ 2?

• 20

• 27

• 18

• 32

Answer explanation

First, calculate inside the parentheses: 3 + 5 = 8. Then, multiply: 4 × 8 = 32. Next, divide: 10 ÷ 2 = 5. Finally, subtract: 32 - 5 = 27. Thus, the correct answer is 27.
