Solve: 5×5×2-12÷4 Using Order of Operations

Question

Solve the following problem using the order of operations:

$5\times5\times2-12:4=$

00:08 Let's solve this math problem together.

00:11 Remember! Multiplication and division come first, before addition and subtraction.

00:18 Now, let's tackle one step at a time. Ready?

00:23 First, calculate the multiplication. Take your time!

00:28 Next, move on to the division part. We got this!

00:36 And there you have it! That's how we find the solution!

According to the order of operations rules, we first enter the multiplication and division exercises into parentheses:

$(5\times5\times2)-(12:4)=$

Now let's solve the exercises in parentheses from left to right:

$5\times5=25$

$25\times2=50$

$12:4=3$

We obtain the following exercise:

$50-3=47$
