Solve 20:4+3×2: Order of Operations Practice Problem

Question

$20:4+3\times2=$

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

00:13 Let's solve the exercises we marked

00:20 We're left with a simple addition exercise

00:22 And that's the solution!

According to the order of operations, we place the multiplication and division exercise within parentheses:

$(20:4)+(3\times2)=$

Now we solve the exercises within parentheses:

$20:4=5$

$3\times2=6$

And we obtain the exercise:

$5+6=11$
