which comes first multiply or devide?

Question

8 + 2 • 5 – 24 ÷ 6 • 2 do i multiply or devide first

Answer 1

whichever one is in front is done first
so:
8 + 2 • 5 – 24 ÷ 6 • 2
8 + 10 - 4 • 2
8 + 10 - 8
10

Answer 2

It it Parenthesizes, Exponents, Multiplication, division, Addition and subtraction. In the case of multiplication and division it is which ever comes closer working form left to write but in this case it is multiply.

8 + 2 • 5 – 24 ÷ 6 • 2
8 + 10 - 24 ÷ 6 • 2
8 + 10 - 4 • 2
8 + 10 - 8
18 - 8
10

Answer 3

in PEMDAS for multiplication or division its what comes first in the problem. for example: 6 divided by 3 multiplied by 2: you would do division first because it comes before multiplication. so this would be your answer:
8 + 2 • 5 – 24 ÷ 6 • 2
8 + 10 - 4 • 2
8 + 10 - 8
10

Answer 4

There is this math rule and it goes like this:
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. Think of it this way:

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.

Back to the problem, start out with multiplication:
8+10-24/6*2
8+10-4*2
8+10-8
18-8
10



I hope this helps!

Answer 5

There is a lot of confusion to the meaning of order of operations. Unfortuantely BEDMAS and PEMDAS can be misleading.

rockinmxchick got it right!

The best way is to treat BEDMAS as BE(DM)(AS) and PEMDAS as PE(MD)(AS). This emphasizes that with division and multiplication you do them left to right. Also with addition and subtraction.

Now, it turns out that for division and multiplication doing them from left to right is the same as doing division before multiplication.

For example: 3 x 6 / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9, and also 3 x 3 = 9.

Just, don't do multiplication before division: 24 / 6 x 2 = 4 x 2 = 8; it does not equal 24 / 12 = 2.

But, you must not do addition before subtraction: 8 - 5 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4; not 8 - 6 = 2.

That's why BEDMAS is confusing: it appears to say that you do D before M (which is correct), and you do A before S (which is incorrect).

PEMDAS is more confusing: it appears to say that you do M before D (which is incorrect).

CONCLUSION: The simplest way to use either BEDMAS or PEMDAS is to ensure that with D or M ALWAYS do them LEFT TO RIGHT; and with A or S ALWAYS do them LEFT TO RIGHT.

Answer 6

Hi Shy!

In math, there is something called "order of operations" and it tells you just that, the order that operations are done in.

1. anything in parenthesis (i.e. (2+2))
2. exponents or roots (i.e. 2^2 or 2 squared)
3. multiplication and division
4. addition and subtraction

When it comes to multiplication and division (or addition and subtraction), you perform the calculations from left to right.

So:
8+2*5-24/6*2
=8+10-4*2
=8+10-8
=10

Best of luck!

Answer 7

In the precedence rule of operators, multilpication and division are of the same level of importance. If they appear in an equation at the same time, they should be evaluated from left to right, whichever comes first

Answer 8

Remember Bedmas.

Answer 9

Multiplication and division come in what ever order they are in. Neither one is suposed to come first. The same thing goes for addition and subtraction.

Answer 10

in this one you would multiply first because it is first comming from left to right. just never add or subtract (unless in parenthises) before multipling or dividing
