Order of Operations (no exponents)

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines the correct sequence to evaluate a mathematical expression. The order is Parentheses, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

What is the first step in solving 3 + 4 x 6 - 4?

Back

The first step is multiplication: 4 x 6 = 24.

Front

True or False: In the expression 2 + (4 x 5 - 2) + 8, you should calculate the parentheses first.

Back

True.

Front

What is the result of 24 x (4 - 2) ÷ 6?

Back

The result is 8.

Front

What is the result of 12 - 4 x 2?

Back

The result is 4.

Front

What should you do first in the expression (7 + 41) ÷ 2 – 15?

Back

First, calculate the parentheses: 7 + 41 = 48.

Front

What does 'parentheses' mean in the Order of Operations?

Back

Parentheses are symbols used to group parts of a mathematical expression, indicating that the operations inside should be performed first.

Front

What is the result of 5 + 3 x 2?

Back

The result is 11, because you do the multiplication first: 3 x 2 = 6, then 5 + 6 = 11.

Front

In the expression 10 - 2 + 3, which operation do you perform first?

Back

You perform the subtraction first: 10 - 2 = 8, then add 3.

Front

What is the result of 8 ÷ 4 + 2?

Back

The result is 4, because you do the division first: 8 ÷ 4 = 2, then 2 + 2 = 4.
