Understanding the Order of Operations

Solve Problems 1–4 using the order of operations.

• 1 12 + 4 × 6 ÷ 3 = _______________

• 2 15 − (10 + 26) ÷ 4 = _______________

• 3 (19 − 1) × (7 − 6) = _______________

• 4 6 × (8 − 4) ÷ 8 = _______________

In Problems 5–8, insert grouping symbols to make each equation true.

• 5 8 + 12 + 16 ÷ 4 = 15

• 6 5 × 9 − 6 + 2 = 17

• 7 20 − 3 + 1 × 3 = 8

• 8 9 − 2 × 4 + 6 = 70

For the following problem, use grouping symbols to write an equation that represents the situation. Then solve the problem.

• 9 A florist planted pots of tulip bulbs, with 5 bulbs in each pot. He planted 6 pots with white tulip bulbs and 4 pots with red tulip bulbs. How many bulbs did he plant in all?
