Order of Operations Warmup #3

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

The Order of Operations is 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). Often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS.

Front

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

What operation should be performed first in the expression 8 + 2 × 5?

Back

Multiplication should be performed first, so the expression evaluates to 8 + 10 = 18.

Front

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

Back

True.

Front

What is the result of the expression 3 + 4 × 2?

Back

The result is 11, because you perform the multiplication first: 4 × 2 = 8, then 3 + 8 = 11.

Front

In the expression 10 - 4 ÷ 2 + 1, which operation do you perform first?

Back

You perform the division first: 4 ÷ 2 = 2.

Front

What is the value of (5 + 3) × 2?

Back

The value is 16, because you perform the operation inside the parentheses first: 5 + 3 = 8, then 8 × 2 = 16.

Front

What is the result of 2^3?

Back

The result is 8, because 2 raised to the power of 3 is 2 × 2 × 2.

Front

What is the value of 12 - (3 + 1) × 2?

Back

The value is 8, because you perform the operation inside the parentheses first: 3 + 1 = 4, then 12 - 4 × 2 = 12 - 8 = 4.

Front

What is the result of 7 + 2 × (3 - 1)?

Back

The result is 11, because you perform the operation inside the parentheses first: 3 - 1 = 2, then 2 × 2 = 4, and finally 7 + 4 = 11.
