Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of operations in mathematics is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS. Therefore, operations inside parentheses are performed first (B), followed by multiplication or division as they appear from left to right (C), and finally addition or subtraction as they appear from left to right (A).
