What operation should be performed first in the expression 3 + 5 × 2?

Back

Multiplication (5 × 2 = 10), then Addition (3 + 10 = 13).

Front

Calculate: 6 + 2 × 3.

Back

12 (2 × 3 = 6, then 6 + 6 = 12).

Front

What is the result of 10 - 2 + 4?

Back

12 (Subtraction and Addition are performed from left to right).

Front

In the expression 8 ÷ 4 + 3, which operation comes first?

Back

Division (8 ÷ 4 = 2), then Addition (2 + 3 = 5).

Front

What is the value of 5 + (3 × 2)?

Back

11 (First calculate 3 × 2 = 6, then 5 + 6 = 11).

Front

Calculate: 4 + 9 + 8 ÷ 4.

Back

15 (First 8 ÷ 4 = 2, then 4 + 9 + 2 = 15).

Front

What is the first operation in the expression 7 - (2 + 3) ÷ 5?

Back
