Order of Operations

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, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

P: Parentheses, E: Exponents, MD: Multiplication and Division (from left to right), AS: Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

Evaluate: 3 + 5 × 2

Back

13 (First, multiply 5 × 2 = 10, then add 3).

Front

Evaluate: (8 - 3) × 2 + 4

Back

12 (First, calculate 8 - 3 = 5, then multiply by 2 to get 10, and finally add 4).

Front

Evaluate: 6 × (2 + 4) ÷ 3

Back

12 (First, calculate 2 + 4 = 6, then multiply by 6 to get 36, and finally divide by 3).

Front

What is the result of 10 - 2 × 3?

Back

4 (First, multiply 2 × 3 = 6, then subtract from 10).

Front

Evaluate: 5 + 3 × (2 + 1)

Back

14 (First, calculate 2 + 1 = 3, then multiply by 3 to get 9, and finally add 5).

Front

Evaluate: 4 + 6 ÷ 2 - 1

Back

6 (First, divide 6 ÷ 2 = 3, then add 4 to get 7, and finally subtract 1).

Front

What is the value of 2 × (3 + 5) - 4?

Back

12 (First, calculate 3 + 5 = 8, then multiply by 2 to get 16, and finally subtract 4).

Front

Evaluate: (5 + 3) × (2 - 1)

Back

8 (First, calculate 5 + 3 = 8, then calculate 2 - 1 = 1, and finally multiply 8 × 1).
