Question

What is the order of operations needed to evaluate the expression 4(5)−8÷2?

Answer 1

PEMDAS (Multiply and divide, then add and subtract)

Explanation:

Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20-8/2

Divide 8 by 2 to get 20-4

subtract to get 16

Answer 2

Using PEMDAS we would do the multiplication and division first and then the subtraction. So 4*5 = 20 and 8/2 is 4 so therefore 20-4 is 16.
