Theory of Mixed Operation

Mixed operation may define as an operation or calculation which involve more than one of the four arithmetic operation (Additions, Subtractions, Multiplications and Divisions.)


Example 1:




Example 2:



Tips:
Whenever there is more than one operation, we must follow this order of operations:

"Do Multiplication and Division
BEFORE addition and subtraction."

Mixed operation involving with Multiplication and Division.

Step1:  Gather the data given

Step2:  Identify the answer needed

Step3:  Decide on the correct operation

Step4:  Do the operations within brackets first

Step5:  Do the (x) and ( ÷ ) operations from Left to Right

The Four Basic Maths Operations

Addition
Addition is commutative
the order does not matter

3+ 2 = 5    and    2 + 3 = 5



Subtraction
The order does matter
5 - 3 = 2   but     3 - 4 = - 1

Multiplication

Multiplication is commutative
the order does not matter

3 x 4 = 12      and    4 x 3 = 12



Division
The order does matter
10 ÷  2 = 5      but   2 ÷ 10 = 1 / 5
