PEMDAS: Understanding the Order of Operations in Math

PEMDAS


Order of operations, also known as PEMDAS, is a set of rules that tells you which mathematical operation to perform first in a given expression.
PEMDAS stands for:
P – Parentheses
E – Exponents
M – Multiplication
D – Division
A – Addition
S – Subtraction
The order of these letters tells you the order in which you should perform the operations. Here’s how it works:

First, you perform any calculations inside parentheses. If there are multiple sets of parentheses, you start with the innermost set and work your way out.
Next, you evaluate any exponents (i.e., numbers with superscripts).
Then, you perform multiplication and division, working from left to right. If there are no multiplication or division operations in the expression, you skip this step.
Finally, you perform addition and subtraction, working from left to right. If there are no addition or subtraction operations in the expression, you skip this step.

Example
6 + 3 x 2^2 / (1 + 2)
First, we look for any parentheses.
There aren’t any, so we move on to exponents. 2^2 = 4.
6 + 3 x 4 / (1 + 2)
Next, we perform multiplication and division,
working from left to right. 3 x 4 = 12.
6 + 12 / (1 + 2)
Now we perform addition and subtraction,
working from left to right. 12 / (1 + 2) = 4.
6 + 4
Finally, we add 6 and 4 to get the answer, which is 10.
So, the solution to the expression 6 + 3 x 2^2 / (1 + 2) using PEMDAS is 10.
Note,following the order of operations is crucial to getting the correct answer in any math problem.
