Order Of Operations (PEMDAS/GEMDAS)

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 is the first step in the order of operations?

Back

The first step is to evaluate expressions inside Parentheses.

Front

What does the (E) in PEMDAS represent?

Back

The (E) in PEMDAS represents Exponents.

Front

How do you evaluate an expression with exponents?

Back

You calculate the base raised to the power indicated by the exponent.

Front

What is the result of 3^2?

Back

The result of 3^2 is 3 x 3, which equals 9.

Front

What is the difference between multiplication and division in the order of operations?

Back

Multiplication and division are performed from left to right, depending on which comes first in the expression.

Front

What is the result of the expression 7 x (4 + 1) - 7 x 2?

Back

The result is 21.

Front

How do you simplify the expression (2 + 7 - 1) ÷ 2^2?

Back

First, simplify inside the parentheses to get 8, then divide by 4 (which is 2^2) to get 2.

Front

What is the result of the expression 5 x (7 - 2) + (8 + 1)?

Back

The result is 34.

Front

What is the order of operations?

Back

The order of operations is the sequence in which operations should be performed to correctly evaluate an expression.
