GEMDAS Rule

GEMDAS is an acronym for Grouping, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction, which outlines the order of operations in simplifying numerical expressions. The document provides rules for applying GEMDAS, including the order of operations and examples to illustrate the process. Additionally, it includes a real-life application problem involving the purchase of apples and bananas to demonstrate the use of GEMDAS.

GEMDAS

GEMDAS
(Grouping, Exponents,
Multiplication and Division,
Addition and Subtraction)
Application to real-life
situations
GEMDAS stands for Grouping, Exponents, Multiplication
and Division, and Addition and Subtraction.
This means that in simplifying numerical expressions,
the operation one should work
1. first is the Grouping symbols (parenthesis, brackets,
or braces),
2. Exponents, Multiplication and Division next,
3. Addition and Subtraction.
Rules:
Step 1. Any calculation that comes inside the Grouping symbol
should be done first. This includes ( ), [ ], and { }. If you have all
these three grouping symbols, perform first ( ), then [ ], and
lastly { }.
If there are no grouping symbols, skip this step.
Step 2. After solving operations inside the parenthesis or
groupings (if any), exponents, roots, and absolute values will
be calculated from left to right.
If there are none of these, skip this step.
Rules:
Step 3. Perform multiplication or division, whichever comes first when
calculating from left to right.
Example: 12 ÷ 3 = 4
12 ÷ 3 = 4
4 x 4 = 16 is the correct answer (rather than 12 ÷ 12 = 1)

Step 4. Lastly, perform addition or subtraction, whichever comes first


when calculating from left to right.
Example: 12 – 3 + 4
12 – 3 + 4
9 + 4 = 13 is the correct answer (rather than 12 – 7 = 5)
Worked Example:

Example 1. Simplify

8–3x2
Worked Example:

Example 2. Simplify

5 – 2 x (6 + 1)
Worked Example:
Example 3. Simplify

÷ (3 – 1) + 6
Worked Example:

Example 4. Simplify
Worked Example:

Example 5. Simplify
Simplifying numerical expression: GEMDAS rule
Direction: Simplify the following numerical expression using
GEMDAS.

1.
2.
3. + 8 ÷ (3+1)
Example Problem:

Roxanne bought 3 boxes of apples, each


containing 24 apples at P5 each. She also
bought 2 boxes of bananas at P280 per
box. If she gives the cashier P1,000, how
much change should she receive?
Example Problem:
