Question

List the steps for the proper order of operations for each item.

1. (11 +33 - 42 ) ÷ ( 8 - 4 )
2. (10 - 2 ) 2 + ( 5 - 10 ÷ 2 )

Answer 1

1. 0.5

2. 64

Explanation:

1. (11 +33 - 42 ) ÷ ( 8 - 4 )

Order of operation is PEMDAS

Parenthesis , exponents, multiply or divide, addition or subtraction

First we start with parenthesis

1. (11 +33 - 42 ) ÷ ( 8 - 4 )

Simplify the parenthesis

so its 2÷ 4

answer is 0.5

2. (10 - 2 )^2 + ( 5 - 10 ÷ 2 )

First simplify the parenthesis

(8) ^2 + (5 - 10 ÷ 2)

Inside the parenthesis we have subtraction and division

As per order of operation we do the division firs and then subtract

(8) ^2 + (5 - 5)

(8) ^2 + 0

now we do the exponent 8^2 is 8* 8

64 + 0

64
