Practice Order of Operations in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
The agreed-upon sequence for evaluating expressions: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (left to right), Addition/Subtraction (left to right).
Without rules, 2 + 3 \times 4 could mean 20 or 14. We agree to multiply first: 14.
Example 1
easyEvaluate 3 + 4 \times 2.
Example 2
mediumEvaluate 2 \times (3 + 5)^2 - 10 \div 2.
Example 3
mediumEvaluate 18 - 3 \times (4 + 1) + 2^3.
Example 4
hardEvaluate 5 + 3^2 \times 2 - (12 \div 4 + 1).
