Let’s Try Some Problems!
Click on the step would do first to solve (4 + 49) – 4 x 10 Would You? Or would you? First Multiply 4 x 10 First add 4 + 49
In the order of operations you solve inside grouping symbols before multiplying and division. Since, (4 + 49) was in parenthesis you would add those numbers first before multiplying 4 x 10. Click here to try again
You are Correct! In the order of operations solving inside of grouping symbols comes before multiplication. Your new problem should look like this: 53 – 4 x 10 Click her to continue solving the problem
Click on the next step in solving the problem (4 + 49) – 4 x 10 53 – 4 x 10 Would You? Or Would You? Multiply 4 x 10 4 x 10 = 40 Subtract 4 from 53 53 – 4 = 49
You are Correct! In the order of operations multiplication comes before subtraction so you would multiply 4 x 10. Your new problem should look like this: 53 - 40 Click her to continue solving the problem
In the order of operations multiplication comes before subtraction so you would multiply 4 x 10. Your new problem should look like this: 53 - 40 Click here to try again
Now subtract 40 from 53 and you have solved the expression! 53 – 40 = 13 Click to try a new expression
Click on the step would do first to solve 3 x (5 + 2) + 4 x 6 Would You? Or would you? First Multiply 3 x 5 and then add 2 First add 5 +2 and then multiply 4 x 6
(5 + 2) is in parenthesis you would add those first and then multiply In the order of operations you solve inside grouping symbols before multiplying and division. Since, (5 + 2) is in parenthesis you would add those first and then multiply 4 x 6 Click here to try again
You are Correct! In the order of operations you solve inside grouping symbols before multiplying and division. Since, (5 + 2) is in parenthesis you would add those first and then multiply 4 x 6. Your new problem will look like this 3 x 7 + 24 Click her to continue solving the problem
Click on the next step in solving the problem 3 x (5 + 2) + 4 x 6 3 x 7 + 24 Would You? Or Would You? Multiply 3 x 7 3 x 7 = 21 Add 7 and 24 7 + 24 = 31
In the order of operations multiplication comes before addition so you would multiply 3 x 7 before you add. Click here to try again
You are Correct! In the order of operations you multiply before you add. Your new problem will look like this 21 + 24 Click her to continue solving the problem
Now just add 21 + 24 and you get 45 Click to complete the quiz Click here to get to the finish line and turn in your work
Now that you have successfully completed both problems, go back and solve the again. This time record your work on a work page that you will turn into Mrs. Maranto. Click on Aunt Sally to go back to the first problem.
