48÷2(9+3) = ????

[DreDee]

How are you dudes getting "2" still following the proper order of operations? Ya'll had me calling up my niece(GATE Student) to make sure I wasn't fucking up.

Right Way:

48/2(9+3)
48/2(12)
24(12)=288

Wrong Way:

48/2(9+3)
48/2*(12)
48/24= 2

EDIT: nevermind, I see this was another one of those viral troll tricks from the 4chan crowd. carry on.

so whats the answer

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, motherfuckers... 3rd Grade shit...


The answer is still "2"...

 

[tre2k4]

So the answer is really 2.....

Note that different software will process this differently; even different models of Texas Instruments graphing calculators will process this differently. In cases of ambiguity, be very careful of your parentheses, and make your meaning clear. The general consensus among math people is that "multiplication by juxtaposition" (that is, multiplying by just putting things next to each other, rather than using the "×" sign) indicates that the juxtaposed values must be multiplied together before processing other operations. But not all software is programmed this way, and sometimes teachers view things differently. If in doubt, ask!

They dont teach Multiplication by juxtaposition in 3rd grade
If it was 48/2 x (9+3)
then you would have
48 / 2 x (12) (Now work the problem left to right since multiplication and division have the same RANK)

24 X 12 =288

Since there is no operator in between the 2 and parentheses,its multiplication by juxtaposition, in which you will do that first before and multiplication or division that comes before it.
So
48/2(9+3)
=48/2(12) <-multiplication by juxtaposition, so multiply before divide
=48/24
=2

To be fair, they don't teach multiplication by juxtaposition in any grade... If anything, it's college level. But the factor that's juxtaposed is basically multiplication, so it still fits PEMDAS, IMO.

It has higher rank than normal multiplication. I guess they dont teach ranking either because a lot of people think Multiplication comes first no matter what when it holds the same rank as Division. Its whatever comes first, left to right. Same for addition and subtraction.

college level? took me 5 sec to get the answer of 2 bc this shit is covered in basic math.

I must of been high as fuck when I picked 288....

Order of operation. What's in parenthesis is done first! The answer is 288

right and wrong at the same damn time

We were talking about multiplication by juxtaposition not being taught in grade school...


But I agree that applying basic math (PEMDAS) will solve the equation correctly...

Not this shit again...

aight what grade do they teach multiplication by juxtaposition.

If it was regular multiplication you would of divided then multiply
