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

Front

What operation do you perform first in the expression: 8 + 2 x 5?

Back

Multiplication (2 x 5 = 10), then Addition (8 + 10 = 18).

Front

What is the value of 3 + 4 x 2?

Back

11 (4 x 2 = 8, then 3 + 8 = 11).

Front

In the expression 10 - 4 ÷ 2, which operation is performed first?

Back

Division (4 ÷ 2 = 2), then Subtraction (10 - 2 = 8).

Front

What is the result of (5 + 3) x 2?

Back

16 (5 + 3 = 8, then 8 x 2 = 16).

Front

Which operation is performed last in the expression 6 + 2 x (3 - 1)?

Back

Addition (2 x (3 - 1) = 4, then 6 + 4 = 10).

Front

What is the value of 2^3?

Back

8 (2 x 2 x 2 = 8).

Front

What is the equivalent of 5 x 5 x 5?

Back

5^3 (5 raised to the power of 3).

Front

In the expression 12 ÷ 4 + 3, which operation is performed first?

Back

Division (12 ÷ 4 = 3), then Addition (3 + 3 = 6).
