Question

Sort following operations according to the priority order from top to bottom.

• A. Exponents
• B. Parenthesis
• C. Division
• D. Multiplication
• E. Addition

Answer 1

Order of operations for solving a mathematical expression that we must follow is:
$P\to \text{Parenthesis}E\to \text{Exponents}M\to \text{Multiplication}D\to \text{Division}A\to \text{Addition}S\to \text{Subtraction}$

Here, the upper operation is performed before performing the operation below it.
