Order of Operations

Preview

Order of operations is the order in which you solve an equation that consists of mixed up mathematics. So let's take the problem 4+5/5 x 4-2 to solve this we have to write this down and solve this using this order which goes form left to right:

• division
• multiplication
• addition 
• subtraction

Now let's solve like this:

4+5/5x4-2

4+1x4-2

4+4-2

8-2

6

And so now we know that the our final answer is 6 because we followed the order of operations.
Now try some of these and make sure to watch the video on YouTube.
