Here are the solutions for the Order of Operations worksheet.
Rule to remember: Always do multiplication ($\times$) and division ($\div$)
before addition ($+$) and subtraction ($-$).

Answer: 2
16) $4 + 3 \times 5$
First, multiply: $3 \times 5 = 15$. Then add: $4 + 15 = 19$.
Answer: 19
17) $8 - 6 \times 0$
First, multiply: $6 \times 0 = 0$. Then subtract: $8 - 0 = 8$.
Answer: 8
18) $2 \times 9 + 4$
First, multiply: $2 \times 9 = 18$. Then add: $18 + 4 = 22$.
Answer: 22
19) $6 - 2 \times 7$
First, multiply: $2 \times 7 = 14$. Then subtract: $6 - 14 = -8$.
Answer: -8
20) $6 \times 4 - 9$
First, multiply: $6 \times 4 = 24$. Then subtract: $24 - 9 = 15$.
Answer: 15
21) $12 - 3 \times 2$
First, multiply: $3 \times 2 = 6$. Then subtract: $12 - 6 = 6$.
Answer: 6
22) $10 \div 2 + 3$
First, divide: $10 \div 2 = 5$. Then add: $5 + 3 = 8$.
Answer: 8
23) $5 \times 6 + 8$
First, multiply: $5 \times 6 = 30$. Then add: $30 + 8 = 38$.
Answer: 38
24) $9 - 3 \times 5$
First, multiply: $3 \times 5 = 15$. Then subtract: $9 - 15 = -6$.
Answer: -6
25) $16 \div 2 + 6$
First, divide: $16 \div 2 = 8$. Then add: $8 + 6 = 14$.
Answer: 14
26) $3 \times 4 - 8$
First, multiply: $3 \times 4 = 12$. Then subtract: $12 - 8 = 4$.
Answer: 4
27) $7 - 5 \times 2$
First, multiply: $5 \times 2 = 10$. Then subtract: $7 - 10 = -3$.
Answer: -3
28) $9 + 7 - 4$
There is no multiplication or division here, so just go from left to right.
$9 + 7 = 16$. Then $16 - 4 = 12$.
Answer: 12
29) $7 - 10 \div 2$
First, divide: $10 \div 2 = 5$. Then subtract: $7 - 5 = 2$.
Answer: 2
