Question: 1 / 400

What is the order of operations for evaluating equations?

BEDMAS

The correct order of operations for evaluating equations is BEDMAS or PEMDAS. BEDMAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (left to right), addition and subtraction (left to right). In PEMDAS, parentheses takes precedence over exponents, and multiplication and division have equal rank and are evaluated from left to right. Addition and subtraction also have equal rank and are evaluated from left to right. The other options are incorrect as they are not the correct order of operations. For example, in DMASBE, division and multiplication would be evaluated before parentheses, which does not follow the correct order.
