 III. Activities
LET US REVIEW
Perform the indicated operations.
1. 112 ÷ 8 = ____________
2. 520 x 11 = ____________
3. 204 - 116 = ____________
4. 779 + 19 = ____________
5. 323 - 17 = ____________

LET US STUDY
In this section, you will learn GEMDAS rule that can be used
to simplify or evaluate complicated numerical expressions with
more than one binary operation easily.

Practice Problems

Problem 1:
Evaluate: (6 + 7) x 8 = ____

Solution:
Expression How to do the process Evaluation
(6 + 7) x 8 Add 6 and 7 inside the = (6 + 7) x 8
parenthesis

Multiply the sum by 8 = 13 x 8

Answer = 104

2
Problem 2:
Evaluate: (25 - 11) ÷ 2 = _____

Solution:
Expression How to do the process Evaluation
(25 - 11) ÷ 2 Subtract 11 from 25 inside = (25 - 11) ÷ 2
the parenthesis

Divide the difference by 2 = 14 ÷2

Answer =7

Problem 3:
Evaluate: 6 + [(16 - 4) ÷ (22 + 2)] – 2 = _____

Solution:
Expression How to do the process Evaluation
6 + [(16 - 4) ÷ (22 + 2)] – 2 Simplify the 22 = 6 + [(16 - 4) ÷ (4 + 2)] – 2

Answer the operations

inside the parenthesis = 6 + [(16 – 4) ÷ (4 + 2)]-2

Answer the operation inside

the brace = 6 + [12÷ 6] – 2

Add 6 and 2 =6+2–2

Subtract 2 from 8 =8-2

Answer =6

Problem 4:
Evaluate: (96 ÷ 12) + 14 x (12 + 8) ÷ 2= _____

Solution:
Expression How to do the process Evaluation
(96 ÷ 12) + 14 x (12 + 8) ÷ 2 Answer the operations = (96 ÷ 12) + 14 x (12 + 8) ÷ 2
. inside the parenthesis
Multiply 14 by 20 = 8 + 14 x 20 ÷ 2
Divide the product by 2 = 8 + 280 ÷ 2
Add 8 to the quotient = 8 + 140
Answer = 148

 LET US REMEMBER

Here is a very simple way to remember the GEMDAS rule:

1. Perform the operations inside the grouping symbols, starting from the
innermost.
2. Simplify numbers with exponents.
3. Multiply or divide as the operation appears from left to right.
4. Add or subtract as the operation appears from left to right.

Let Us Practice More

Expression How to do the process
50 400 + (14 120 - Answer the operations
x 3) – (10 000 x 3) inside the parenthesis
=N
- Add 50 400 and 42360
- Subtract 30 000 from 92 760
Answer
6
Evaluation
= 50 400 + (14 120 x 3) – (10 000 x 3)
= 50 400 + 42 360 – 30 000
= 50 400 + 42 360 – 30 000
= 92 760 – 30 000
= 62 760
