Order of Operations Flashcards
(7 cards)
What is the Order of Operations
The order of operations provides a process for simplifying expressions so that all answers are the same
There are various ways to answer the order, including: ____________
PEMDAS, BEDMAS, BODMAS GEMDAS
We will be focusing on PEMDAS
What is the first step?
Paranthasis
Solve the numbers or letter in the paranthesis first, if there is none move on to the second
What is the second step
Exponents
Solve the exponents, if there is non move on to the third
What is the third step
Multiplication or Division
How do we pick which one to solve?
Whichever one appears first, you solve that one. For example in the expression:
(15 - 4) x 9 divided by 4
in this case, we solve the multiplication first, because it appeared before the division
If you dont want to read this one, just solve the one that appears first
(Right -> Left)
What is the fourth step
Addition or Subtraction
If both of them are in the same problem, just remember what i said in the other flashcard. It applies to this one too
