48÷2(9+3) = ????

AThe answer is 288 until you change the setup of the equation.
48÷2(9+3) =
48 DIVIDED BY 2 MULTIPLIED BY THE SUM OF 9 AND 3
since 9 and 3 are in paretheses, you do it first
so we get
48 DIVIDED BY 2 MULTIPLIED BY 12
Now work the problem left to right since it both multiplication and division have the same precedence

Okay look I called my friend that is a math major getting ready to go to grad school soon, so I'm sure he knows. AS WRITTEN above the answer is 288. If you want the answer 2 you would have to put it like this
48÷(2(9+3))
or
48
---
2(9+3)
There it is solved. Don't trip I thought it was 2 also. But multiplication and division are equal as subtraction and addition.
48÷(2(9+3))
or
48
---
2(9+3)

Since we're talking division and multiplication: What is your numerator and denominator?
And I disagree because I can also state that:
48/2(9+3)
Is the same as
48
------
2(9+3)
The answer is 2.
The problem is written correctly. You have to use the PEMDAS - order of operation & understand math symbols. I know it's been a long time and a lot of porn since people have done this, but asking a math teacher or looking up how to solve the equation(google) would end all the theories.

agreed
bingo
I seriously think people are getting stuck on the bolded part man.
No, I KNOW they are. Especially dumb ass Sakem.
Just for clarification PEMDAS is
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication AND Division
Addition AND Subtraction.
It's just an acronym to make it easy to remember.
Naw I just made it simple and broke it down. Theres no way to get the answer to be 2 without adding the extra parentheses.
LoOooooool
*sigh*
Put these two equations into excel (let excel do the auto correction of adding the multiplaction sign after the two):
=48/2(9+3)
=48/(2(9+3))
And see what excel says the answer is. If you still think you're right and Excel, Google MATLAB, TI-83, and some posters on here (including my smart ass self) are ALL wrong, then you're just a thick headed person not worth arguing with.

Ive been to college and majored in engineering and tutored in stats. But even I can make mistakes but this is 4th grade shit. Even if you cant remember, you can look up some kind of reference to support your answer. I should have to post the the theory of order of operations to prove a simple math problem.
^^^This formula is different from this
48÷2(9+3). Check my response above for the explanation

These responses are the funniest to me.
You do realize that those mathematical software that are giving the correct answer of 288 are written by engineers who are using the PEMDAS principle....they're just using it correctly...unlike you.
Dammit, I'm waffling!!!
It's been a long time since I've done problems like these but I'm going to flip flop and switch to 288...Fuck!!!
48/2(9+3)
48/2*12
Since division and multiplication are the same...
48/2 = 24*12 = 288.
FUCK!!!
it doesnt use order of operation
Bottom line and what I believe is the answer is different based on how you interpret the equation. There lies the argument in my opinion, and I might be wrong. Fuck it. I'm done with this shit. Oh well.

This is the original ----> 48÷2(9+3)
Ok, let's remove the brackets, that should be the first computation.
Now we have 48÷2(12) = 48÷24 which is 2.
Remember 2 is multiply by what is in the bracket.
I can understand being rusty on the subject, but these niccas are straight obstinate in their ignorance.

I got 288 the same as you. I explained myself the exact same as you. That website and my boy came up with 2.
Since x = x, its the same thing. You're thinking too hard
Is there a difference?
Its two if they think the 9+3 is in the numerator.
the website tre posted came up with 288 for me.
Simple question:
Is this:
48
--
2x
same as
48
----
2(x)
or
48
-- x
2
Just asking?
