Question

Which operation should be performed immediately after multiplication and division using order of operations?

Answer 1

After performing multiplication and division, the next operation to be carried out, according to the order of operations (often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS), is addition and subtraction, which are performed from left to right. In summary, the order of operations is:

1. Parentheses/Brackets
2. Exponents/Orders (such as squares and square roots)
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

So, immediately after multiplication and division, you would perform addition and subtraction.
