The ASVAB Tutor Presents a Math Knowledge Question on PEMDAS

Mathematics Knowledge Question

As an ASVAB tutor, I focus on order of operations in my ASVAB prep course.  This is a topic that

I cover in my book entitled, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide as well as my book entitled, The ASVAB Tutor’s Practice Questions for Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge.  Many of my ASVAB prep students need improvement in working on order of operations also known as PEMDAS.  In order to help improve your ASVAB math score, it is essential to know how to work with order of operations.  Today’s example might be a little challenging even though it only has 2 steps.

Do you know the proper order of operations to do in this example?  I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
