Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: PEMDAS Problems

Problem: Solve the calculations and order the expressions from smallest to largest.



#### Part 1: Work out these complex calculations

We will solve each calculation step by step, following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

---

1. \( (4 + 7) \times 3 \)


\[
(4 + 7) \times 3 = 11 \times 3 = 33
\]

---

2. \( 12 - (2 \times 5) \)


\[
12 - (2 \times 5) = 12 - 10 = 2
\]

---

3. \( (60 \div 10) - 8 \)


\[
(60 \div 10) - 8 = 6 - 8 = -2
\]

---

4. \( 25 + (3 \times 8) \)


\[
25 + (3 \times 8) = 25 + 24 = 49
\]

---

5. \( 10 \div (17 - 15) \)


\[
10 \div (17 - 15) = 10 \div 2 = 5
\]

---

6. \( 3 \times (12 - 4) \)


\[
3 \times (12 - 4) = 3 \times 8 = 24
\]

---

7. \( 9 - (2 \times 7) \)


\[
9 - (2 \times 7) = 9 - 14 = -5
\]

---

8. \( (24 \div 6) - 10 \)


\[
(24 \div 6) - 10 = 4 - 10 = -6
\]

---

9. \( \frac{1}{2} \times (20 - 4) \)


\[
\frac{1}{2} \times (20 - 4) = \frac{1}{2} \times 16 = 8
\]

---

10. \( (9 \times 6) - 42 \)


\[
(9 \times 6) - 42 = 54 - 42 = 12
\]

---

11. \( 50 - (4 \times 9) \)


\[
50 - (4 \times 9) = 50 - 36 = 14
\]

---

12. \( 27 \div (81 \div 9) \)


\[
27 \div (81 \div 9) = 27 \div 9 = 3
\]

---

13. \( (5 \times 11) - (3 \times 20) \)


\[
(5 \times 11) - (3 \times 20) = 55 - 60 = -5
\]

---

14. \( (30 - 12) \times (20 \div 10) \)


\[
(30 - 12) \times (20 \div 10) = 18 \times 2 = 36
\]

---

15. \( (16 + 11) - (5 \times 6) \)


\[
(16 + 11) - (5 \times 6) = 27 - 30 = -3
\]

---

16. \( (8 \times 6) \div (1.5 + 2.5) \)


\[
(8 \times 6) \div (1.5 + 2.5) = 48 \div 4 = 12
\]

---

Part 2: Calculator Challenges



These calculations involve more decimal numbers and larger values. We will solve them step by step.

---

17. \( 67.5 - (2.7 \times 9) \)


\[
2.7 \times 9 = 24.3
\]
\[
67.5 - 24.3 = 43.2
\]

---

18. \( (17.8 + 27.4) \times 19 \)


\[
17.8 + 27.4 = 45.2
\]
\[
45.2 \times 19 = 858.8
\]

---

19. \( 6000 - (172.95 \times 12) \)


\[
172.95 \times 12 = 2075.4
\]
\[
6000 - 2075.4 = 3924.6
\]

---

20. \( (5250 \div 25) - 190.9 \)


\[
5250 \div 25 = 210
\]
\[
210 - 190.9 = 19.1
\]

---

21. \( 3728 + (165.75 \times 4) \)


\[
165.75 \times 4 = 663
\]
\[
3728 + 663 = 4391
\]

---

22. \( 3750 - (872.4 \times 4) \)


\[
872.4 \times 4 = 3489.6
\]
\[
3750 - 3489.6 = 260.4
\]

---

23. \( (28 \times 37) - (65 \times 16) \)


\[
28 \times 37 = 1036
\]
\[
65 \times 16 = 1040
\]
\[
1036 - 1040 = -4
\]

---

24. \( (6720 \div 100) + (17.5 \times 8) \)


\[
6720 \div 100 = 67.2
\]
\[
17.5 \times 8 = 140
\]
\[
67.2 + 140 = 207.2
\]

---

Part 3: Order these expressions from smallest to largest



The expressions are:
1. \( 1.75 - (8.2 \div 4) \)
2. \( (0.35 \times 5) - (3.5 \div 5) \)
3. \( 8 - (1.63 \times 6) \)

#### Expression 1: \( 1.75 - (8.2 \div 4) \)
\[
8.2 \div 4 = 2.05
\]
\[
1.75 - 2.05 = -0.3
\]

#### Expression 2: \( (0.35 \times 5) - (3.5 \div 5) \)
\[
0.35 \times 5 = 1.75
\]
\[
3.5 \div 5 = 0.7
\]
\[
1.75 - 0.7 = 1.05
\]

#### Expression 3: \( 8 - (1.63 \times 6) \)
\[
1.63 \times 6 = 9.78
\]
\[
8 - 9.78 = -1.78
\]

#### Ordering the results:
- Expression 3: \( -1.78 \)
- Expression 1: \( -0.3 \)
- Expression 2: \( 1.05 \)

So, the order from smallest to largest is:
\[
-1.78, -0.3, 1.05
\]
