Order of Operation

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression.

Front

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

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

Front

Evaluate: 5 + 2 x 3

Back

11 (First, multiply 2 x 3 = 6, then add 5 + 6 = 11).

Front

Evaluate: (8 - 3) x 2 + 4

Back

10 (First, subtract 8 - 3 = 5, then multiply 5 x 2 = 10, and finally add 10 + 4 = 14).

Front

Which operation is performed FIRST in the expression 6 + (2 x 3)?

Back

Multiplication (2 x 3 is performed before addition).

Front

Evaluate: 10 - (2 + 3) x 2

Back

0 (First, calculate 2 + 3 = 5, then multiply 5 x 2 = 10, and finally subtract 10 - 10 = 0).

Front

What is the result of 4 x (5 - 2) + 6?

Back

18 (First, calculate 5 - 2 = 3, then multiply 4 x 3 = 12, and finally add 12 + 6 = 18).

Front

Evaluate: 12 ÷ 4 + 3 x 2

Back

9 (First, divide 12 ÷ 4 = 3, then multiply 3 x 2 = 6, and finally add 3 + 6 = 9).

Front

Which operation is performed SECOND in the expression 7 + 2 x 3?

Back

Addition (after multiplication, addition is performed).

Front

Evaluate: (6 + 4) ÷ 2 x 3

Back

15 (First, calculate 6 + 4 = 10, then divide 10 ÷ 2 = 5, and finally multiply 5 x 3 = 15).
