Solve 15:5+4×3: Order of Operations Practice Problem

Question

$15:5+4\times3=$

00:00 Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, so we'll start with them

00:21 Let's first solve the exercises we marked

00:27 We're left with a simple addition exercise

00:30 And that's the solution!

According to the order of operations, we put the multiplication and division exercise in parentheses:

$(15:5)+(4\times3)=$

Now we solve the parentheses:

$15:5=3$

$4\times3=12$

And we get the exercise:

$3+12=15$
