48÷2(9+3)=?

2 or 288

50/50 across teh interwebz

[OmgUrMom]

seriously? its 24x12 ( im assuming that comes out to 288)

[OmgUrMom]

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

[rfr3sh]

2...

[warriorfan707]

24x12

[Cuse0323]

how the fck do you get 2 out of that, it's 288

[rfr3sh]

I look at it as

48
-----
2(9+3)

Gives u two

[dfberger23]

[daneault23]

It's 2.

Add 9+3
Multiply by 2
48/24=2

[VegasInsider]

It's 288..

(48 / 2) * (9 + 3) = 288

There's 4 dumbasses...atleast so far that answered

[empty cookie jar]

in a world where 1.7 + 1.3 = 3.4, why the dang bloody hell not

[sneakerhead]

Order of operation:
1.solve brackets first
2.radicals/exponents
3.multiply/divide
4.add/subtract

What was that word n school it's been to long started w a P?

[oiler]

didnt know there would be a math class tonight

[Cuse0323]

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

BOOM

There's your answer

you're welcome

[Cuse0323]

It's 2. Add 9+3 Multiply by 2 48/24=2

but why after you do the parenthesis do you go from right to left.

[Bo$$ Bet$]

What's 48/(2*(9+3)=

[Bo$$ Bet$]

PEMDAS people PEMDAS!!!!!!
Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiply
Divide
Add
Subtract

[Bo$$ Bet$]

Wow 14 answered 50/50 so how many got it wrong n how many got it right u fukks??

[Bo$$ Bet$]

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

I came up with 2. Order of operations say parenthesis first.

[iceminers26]

48÷2(9+3)=? 2 or 288 50/50 across teh interwebz

Step 1: 48/2 = 24
Step 2: 9+3 = 12
Step 3: 24(12) = 288

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

[Cuse0323]

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

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

The answers 2!! I want a god damn cookie

[Cuse0323]

just pop another xannie, you're not getting a cookie.

[Gee]

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."

mother fukker I'll trade?

[samgurt]

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

The answers 2!! I want a god damn cookie

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

who the f does this? not math people.

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