Order of Operations and Basic Arithmetic

The video tutorial explains the order of operations, commonly known as PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. The tutorial emphasizes that multiplication and division are performed from left to right, as they appear in the problem, and the same rule applies to addition and subtraction. An example problem is solved step-by-step to demonstrate these principles, ensuring that each operation is performed in the correct order to arrive at the correct solution.

What does the acronym PEMOS stand for in the context of order of operations?

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Order, Addition

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Subtraction

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Order, Subtraction

Which two components of PEMOS are not covered in detail in this tutorial?

• Multiplication and Division

• Addition and Subtraction

• Parentheses and Exponents

• Order and Subtraction

When performing multiplication and division, how should they be approached?

• Division always before multiplication

• In any order as long as both are completed

• Multiplication always before division

• In the order they appear from left to right

In the example problem, what is the result of 14 divided by 7?

• 2

• 4

• 1

• 3

After solving 14 / 7, what is the next operation in the example problem?

• 2 * 3

• 8 + 2

What is the result of 2 multiplied by 3 in the example problem?

• 4

• 5

• 6

• 7

How should addition and subtraction be handled according to the tutorial?

• Addition always before subtraction

• In any order as long as both are completed

• Subtraction always before addition

• In the order they appear from left to right
