    order of operations has you do paretheses first, then you just do it in order (left to right) since division and multiplaction dont have priority over each other. 48 divided by 2 is 24 then 24x12

    this question is pretty funny. it's being argued by a bunch of stoners after a search. I guess you could look at it both ways. I see it as 9+3 then you go back left to right at 48÷2 = 24x12

    on another note why doesn't my keyboard have a division sign

    48÷2(9+3)=?
    9 + 3 = 12
    48/2*12 this is what fukks people up

    Look at it as another parenthesis:

    48/(2(12)
    U gotta take 2 x 12 first = 24 then:
    48/24 = 2

    Step 1: 48/2 = 24

    Step 3: 24(12) = 288

    Wasn't a math major but that's how I would solve it.

    with the pemdas shit, it doesn't mean multiplication is before division. they're interchangeable.

    we learn it as bimdas in aus. brackets, indices - rest is the same.

    the answer is 2. Reasoning below.

    "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."

    no.

    why are you adding an extra parenthesis? It is just messing up you order of ops and giving you the wrong answer.

    it is 288.

    48/2(9+3)
    = 48/2(12)
    NOW GO LEFT TO RIGHT SINCE THERE ARE NO MORE EQUATIONS IN PARENTHESES!
    24*12 = 288

    This is correct! 2 numbers next to each other u automatically multiple that's y I said add the "imaginary" parenthesis
