Which of the following is true of operations within a spreadsheet program’s built-in functions? a. operations within parentheses, then multiplication and division, and then addition and subtraction are computed. b. operations within parentheses, then addition and subtraction, and then multiplication and division are computed. c. multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction, and then operations within parentheses are computed. d. addition and subtraction, then multiplication and division, and then operations within parentheses are computed

The answer is: A.

Operations within parentheses, then multiplication and division, and then addition and subtraction are computed.

In spreadsheet programs, they still follow the PEMDAS mathematical rule.

P - Parenthesis

E - Exponent

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

But they also follow the rule of whichever comes first when it comes to the Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction.

So it follows like:

1. Parenthesis (Operations within the Parenthesis)

2. Exponents (Such as 2^5)

3. Multiplication or Division (Whichever comes first. 5*4/3 = 6.67 or 4/4*5 = 5)

4. Addition or Subtraction (Whichever comes first 2+3-4 = 1 or 2-4+3 = 1)

Keep in mind that spreadsheets are programmed this way.

Operations within parentheses, then multiplication and division, and then addition and subtraction are computed.
