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 operation to perform in the expression (5 + 3) x 2?

Back

The first operation is to perform the addition inside the parentheses: 5 + 3 = 8.

Front

Calculate: 8 + (3 x 2)

Back

8 + (3 x 2) = 8 + 6 = 14.

Front

What is the second operation to perform in the expression (10 - 2) + 4?

Back

The second operation is addition, after performing the subtraction: 10 - 2 = 8, then 8 + 4 = 12.

Front

Calculate: (6 + 4) x 2 - 5

Back

(6 + 4) x 2 - 5 = 10 x 2 - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15.

Front

What does the E in PEMDAS represent?

Back

The E in PEMDAS represents Exponents.

Front

Which operation is performed last in the expression 3 + 4 x 2?

Back

The last operation is addition, after performing multiplication: 4 x 2 = 8, then 3 + 8 = 11.

Front

Calculate: 12 - (3 + 1) x 2

Back

12 - (3 + 1) x 2 = 12 - 4 x 2 = 12 - 8 = 4.

Front

What is the order of operations?

Back

The order of operations is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

Calculate: (15 - 5) + (2 x 3)

Back

(15 - 5) + (2 x 3) = 10 + 6 = 16.
