Example Question #92 : Common Core Math: Grade 5
Select the equation that reflects the phrase below.
First subtract and , then multiply by .
Because we want to subtract and first, we need to set that off into parentheses due to the order of operation rules. Then we can do the multiplication of .
Example Question #82 : Order Of Operations
Simplify the following expression:
Fol
Follow the rules of order of operations. An easy way to remember them is to remember PEMDAS.
P - parenthesis
E - exponents
M/D - multiplication and division, done in order from left to right
A/S - addition and subtraction, done in order from left to right
By following this, we first evaluate what's in the parenthesis:
Next we evaluate the exponent:
Now we multiply from left to right:
Lastly, we add and subtract from left to right:
Example Question #81 : Order Of Operations
Simplify:
None of the other answers.
To solve this problem you must follow the order of operations which are a set of rules that say some mathematical operations are performed sooner than others. The most common acronym to keep track of the order is PEMDAS which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and lastly Subtraction. Deal with each operation and move onto the next.
