Order of Operations By Emily Bostwick
Please () Parenthesis Excuse x2 Exponents My × Multiplication Dear / ÷ Division Aunt + Addition Sally - Subtraction
() Parenthesis () (4+5)×6 The first step to solving this problem is to calculate what is inside the parenthesis. (4+5)×6 = 9×6 = 54 If you don’t follow PEMDAS, you could get (4+5)×6 = 4+30 = 34which is not the correct answer. PEMDAS END
x2 Exponents x5 4+32 The first step to solving this problem would be to calculate the exponent. 4+32 = 4+9 = 13 If you didn’t follow PEMDAS, you could get 4+32 = 72 = 49which is no the correct answer PEMDAS END
× Multiplication × 4+7×2 The first step to solving this problem is to multiply 7 and 2. 4+7×2 = 4+14 = 16 If you didn’t follow PEMDAS, you could get 4+7×2 = 11×2 = 22 which isn’t the correct answer. PEMDAS END
/ Division ÷ 18+9/3 The first step to solving this problem is to divide 9 and 3. 18+9/3= 18+3 = 21 If you didn’t follow PEMDAS, you could get 18+9/3 = 27/3 = 9which isn’t the correct answer. PEMDAS END
+ Addition + 4+7×2 Since addition comes after multiplication in PRMDAS, the first step is to multiply 7 and 2. 4+7×2 = 4+14 = 18 If you didn’t follow PEMDAS and add first, you could get 4+7×2 = 11×2 = 22which isn’t the correct answer. PEMDAS END
- Subtraction - 7-4×2 Since addition comes after multiplication in PRMDAS, the first step is to multiply 4 and 2. 7-4×2 = 7-8 = -1 If you didn’t follow PEMDAS and add first, you could get 7-4×2 = 3×2 = 6which isn’t the correct answer. PEMDAS END
Practice • Evaluate 3 + 6 × (5 + 4) ÷ 3 - 7 using the order of operations. Parenthesis3 + 6 × (5 + 4) ÷ 3 – 7 3 + 6 × 9 ÷ 3 - 7 Multiplication3 + 6 × 9 ÷ 3 - 7 3 + 54 ÷ 3 - 7 Division3 + 54 ÷ 3 – 7 3 + 18 - 7 Addition3 + 18 – 7 21 - 7 Subtraction21 – 7 14 So, 3 + 6 × (5 + 4) ÷ 3 - 7 = 14 PEMDAS END
More Practice Evaluate 9 - 5 ÷ (8 - 3) × 22 + 6 using the order of operations. Parenthesis9 - 5 ÷(8 - 3) × 22 + 6 9 - 5 ÷ 5 × 22 + 6 Exponent9 - 5 ÷ 5 × 22 + 6 9 - 5 ÷ 5 × 4 + 6 Division9 - 5 ÷ 5 × 4 + 6 9 – 1 × 4 + 6 Multiplication9 – 1 × 4 + 6 9 – 4 + 6 Subtraction9 – 4 + 6 5+ 6 Addition5+ 6 11 So, 9 - 5 ÷ (8 - 3) × 22 + 6 = 11 PEMDAS END
Final Practice Problem Evaluate 12 - 5 ÷ (2 + 3) × 23 - 23 using the order of operations. Parenthesis12 - 5 ÷(2 + 3) × 23 -23 12 - 5 ÷ 5 × 22 - 23 Exponent12 - 5 ÷ 5 × 23 - 23 12 - 5 ÷ 5 × 8 - 23 Division12 - 5 ÷ 5 × 8 - 23 12 – 1 × 8 - 23 Multiplication12 – 1 × 8 - 23 12 – 8 - 23 Subtraction12 – 8 - 23 4- 23 Addition4- 23 -19 So, 12 - 5 ÷ (2 + 3) × 23 - 23 = -19 PEMDAS END
