Order of Operations Without Exponents

Front

What is the order of operations?

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression. The order is: Parentheses, Exponents (not applicable here), Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

Which operation should be performed first in the expression (9 x 2) - 4 + 18 ÷ 3?

Back

Multiplication should be performed first.

Front

What is the result of the expression 7(14 ÷ 2)?

Back

The result is 49.

Front

How do you simplify the expression 16 ÷ 2 x 4 - 3?

Back

First, divide 16 by 2 to get 8, then multiply by 4 to get 32, and finally subtract 3 to get 29.

Front

What is the correct order of operations for the expression 5 - 3 + 2?

Back

You should subtract first (5 - 3 = 2), then add (2 + 2 = 4).

Front

What is the value of the expression 8 + 4 x 2?

Back

The value is 16. (First, multiply 4 x 2 = 8, then add 8 + 8 = 16.)

Front

In the expression 12 - 3 + 6, which operation do you perform first?

Back

You perform subtraction first (12 - 3 = 9), then addition (9 + 6 = 15).

Front

What is the result of the expression 5 + 2 x 3 - 4?

Back

The result is 7. (First, multiply 2 x 3 = 6, then add 5 + 6 = 11, and finally subtract 4 to get 7.)

Front

What is the value of the expression 10 - (2 + 3)?

Back

The value is 5. (First, calculate inside the parentheses: 2 + 3 = 5, then subtract: 10 - 5 = 5.)

Front

What is the first step in solving the expression 3 + 6 ÷ 2?

Back

The first step is to perform the division: 6 ÷ 2 = 3, then add: 3 + 3 = 6.
