Briefly describe the order of operations. Give an example of how order of operations makes a difference in a calculation.

What will be an ideal response?


The order of operations determines the sequence by which operations are calculated in an expression. The order of operations is parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication and division, followed by addition and subtraction. For example, 3+7*2 would equal 17, because multiplication is done before addition.
