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 acronym PEMDAS is often used to remember the order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

In the expression 44 ÷ 2 x (3 - 1), which operation is performed first?

Back

Subtraction - (3 - 1) is performed first, then division and multiplication from left to right.

True or False: 2 + (4 x 5 - 2) + 8 = 28

Back

True

Front

What is the first step in solving the expression 3 + 5 x 2?

Back

The first step is to perform the multiplication: 5 x 2 = 10, then add 3.

Front

What is the result of 10 - 2 + 3 x 4?

Back

The result is 10. First, perform the multiplication: 3 x 4 = 12, then 10 - 2 + 12 = 20.

Front

What is the value of (2 + 3) x (4 - 1)?

Back

The value is 15. First, calculate inside the parentheses: (2 + 3) = 5 and (4 - 1) = 3, then multiply: 5 x 3 = 15.
