The answer to the following question is 10. 

16 - 3 x 2

True

100

What operation would you do first? 15 + (17 -15)

Brackets before addition, so 17 - 15

100

Solve: 6 x 2 - 1

11

100

Solve 24 / (12 - 4)

3

What does the P stand for?

Parenthesis

The answer to the following is 25. 

3 + 2 x 5

False, it's 13

200

What operation would you do first? 42 / 7 x 8 - 8 x 3

Multiply and divide are of the same importance so, working from left to right: 42 / 7

200

Solve 6 / 3 + 3 x 5

18

200

Solve (7+5) - (10+2)

0

What does 32 mean?

3 squared

3 to the 2nd power

 3 x 3

300

The answer to the following is 16

(8 / 2) x 4 + 5 =

False, it's 20

300

What operation should be performed first? 9 + (4 + 2 x 4) - 20

Brackets come first, and then multiplication and division so 2 x 4 is the first operation to solve.

300

88 / 8 - 6 x (5 - 4)

5

300

(3 x 4) - 3 x 2

6

300

What does the E stand for?

 exponents

400

The answer to the following is 74.

 4 + (6 + 3 x 9) - 11

False, it's 26

400

88 / 8 - 6 x 5 - 4 + 82

Powers before multiplication and division, so 82

400

18 - 7 x 2 + 13 - 4 / 2

15

400

(12 + 4) + (18 - 42) =

18

When solving a problem with addition and subtraction, which direction do you work?

Left to right

500

The answer to the following is 27.

(18 - 15) / 3 x 27

True

500

82 / (9 -7) x 10

Brackets first, so 9 - 7

500

28 - 7 x 3 + (5 - 1) / 2 + 3

12

500

( 5 x 5 ) / 5 + 10 - 2 =

13
