Order of Operations Quiz Answers
1) 1 x 5 + 9 = ?
Step 1: 1 x 5 = 5
=5 + 9
Step 2: 5 + 9 = 14
=14
Answer: 14
2) 1 + 4 x 5 - 3 = ?
Step 1: 4 x 5 = 20
= 1 + 20 - 3
Step 2: 1 + 20 = 21
= 21 - 3
Step 3: 21 - 3 = 18
= 18
Answer: 18
3) 23 - 5 + 7 x 8 = ?
Step 1: 7 x 8 = 56
= 23 - 5 + 56
Step 2: 23 - 5 = 18
= 18 + 56
Step 3: 18 + 56 = 74
=74
Answer: 74
4) 7 - 5 + 8 x 4 + 9 x 3 = ?
Step 1: 8 x 4 = 32
= 7 - 5 + 32 + 9 x 3
Step 2: 9 x 3 = 27
= 7 - 5 + 32 + 27
Step 3: 7 - 5 = 2
= 2 + 32 + 27
Step 4: 2 + 32 = 34
= 34 + 27
Step 5: 34 + 27 = 61
= 61
Answer: 61
5) 7 + 6 + 8 x 4 - 2 = ?
Step 1: 8 x 4 = 32
= 7 + 6 + 32 - 2
Step 2: 7 + 6 = 13
= 13 + 32 - 2
Step 3: 13 + 32 = 35
= 35 - 2
Step 4: 35 - 2 = 33
= 33
Answer: 33
6) 1 + 2 + 3 x 4 = ?
Step 1: 3 x 4 = 12
= 1 + 2 + 12
Step 2: 1 + 2 = 3
= 3 + 12
Step 3: 3 + 12 = 15
= 15
Answer: 15
7) 4 x 3 - 5 - 6 = ?
Step 1: 4 x 3 = 12
= 12 - 5 - 6
Step 2: 12 - 5 = 7
= 7 - 6
Step 3: 7 - 6 = 1
= 1
Answer: 1
8) 34 + 9 x 0 + 8 = ?
Step 1: 9 x 0 = 0
= 34 + 0 + 8
Step 2: 34 + 0 = 34
= 34 + 8
Step 3: 34 + 8 = 42
= 42
Answer: 42
9) 12 x 5 - 6 x 0 + 9 - 8 = ?
Step 1: 12 x 5 = 60
= 60 - 6 x 0 + 9 - 8
Step 2: 6 x 0 = 0
= 60 - 0 + 9 - 8
Step 3: 60 - 0 = 60
= 60 - 9 - 8
Step 4: 60 - 9 = 51
= 51 - 8
Step 5: 51 - 8 = 43
= 43
Answer: 43
10) 8 x 5 - 9 - 7 x 4 + 5 = ?
Step 1: 8 x 5 = 40
= 40 - 9 - 7 x 4 + 5
Step 2: 7 x 4 = 28
= 40 - 9 - 28 + 5
Step 3: 40 - 9 = 31
= 31 - 28 + 5
Step 4: 31 - 28 = 3
= 3 + 5
Step 5: 3 + 5 = 8
= 8
Answer: 8
