Using order of operation on a quotient - Free Math Videos

The video tutorial explains the order of operations, focusing on parentheses, exponents, multiplication, and division. It emphasizes simplifying complex problems by addressing multiplication and division first, especially in quotient scenarios. The tutorial also explores alternative methods for solving division problems, ensuring clarity in applying PEMDAS rules.

What is the first step in the order of operations when solving a problem without parentheses?

• Add and subtract

• Perform multiplication

• Evaluate exponents

• Simplify fractions

When dealing with multiplication and division, what should be done before dividing?

• Simplify both the numerator and the denominator

• Multiply all terms

• Add all numbers

• Subtract the smallest number

Which of the following is a correct method to simplify a division problem?

• Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number

• Divide each term separately before simplifying

• Simplify the numerator first, then divide

• Add the numerator and denominator

What is the result of simplifying 100 - 80 over 20?

• 2

• 5

• 0

• 1

How can you ensure you are not violating the order of operations when simplifying a quotient?

• Always divide first

• Simplify the top and bottom separately before dividing

• Ignore multiplication

• Add all terms together
