Example Questions
Example Question #141 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Find the product of times the quotient of divided by
When you are asked to find the product that means we are going to multiply. Because we are multiplying and dividing in this question, we do not need to use parentheses because with multiplication and division you work the problem out from left to right. So first we have the division problem, then we multiply because it says to find the product of the quotient (answer to a division problem), which means we need to divide first.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #142 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Subtract from the quotient of divided by
Because of our order of operations, the division problem needs to come first. We list the subtraction last because we are subtracting a number by the quotient, so the quotient needs to be listed first.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #143 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
divided by the product of and
needs to be listed first because that's the number that is getting divided. However, we need to do the multiplication problem first to find out what number we are dividing into , so we need to put the multiplication problem into parentheses.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #144 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Add to the difference between and
Difference means the answer to a subtraction problem. Because we are adding a number to the difference, we need to do the subtraction problem first. Since we are adding and subtracting in this question, we do not need to use parentheses because with addition and subtraction you work the problem out from left to right. So first we have the subtraction problem, then we add.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #145 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Add to the product of and
Product means the answer to a multiplication problem. Becuase of our order of operation rules, the multiplication problem will come first, regardless of if it's listed first or second. Then we add.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #146 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Find the sum of and and then divide
When you are asked to find the sum that means we are going to add. Because the phrase says "then divide" we need to put the addition problem in parentheses because of our order of operations. Then we can divide.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #171 : Algebra
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Divide the product of and by
When you are asked to find the product that means we are going to multiply. Because we are multiplying and dividing in this question, we do not need to use parentheses because with multiplication and division you work the problem out from left to right. So first we have the multiplication problem, then we divide.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #148 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Divide by the quotient of divided by
Quotient means the answer to a division problem. Because we want to divide by the answer of we need to put that in parentheses so that it's done first.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #149 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
Add and and then multiply by the sum
Because we are multiplying by the sum, which is the answer to an addition problem, we first need to add so we need to put the addition problem in parentheses, then we can do the multiplication.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
Example Question #150 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
divided by the difference between and
Because we are dividing by the difference, or answer, from the subtraction problem, we first need to subtract. In order for the subtraction problem to go first, we need to put that in parentheses.
Remember, order of operations is PEMDAS= parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
