48?2(9+3)

fifth grade math. (maybe advanced college level in Kentucky) The correct answer is 288 when the order of operations is followed correctly. Work from L>R . 48/2(9+3) Divide 48 by two (24) whats in parenthesis next 9+3 (12). Final step MULTIPLY 24 by 12 (288) (those of you that are dividing and getting two for your solution are in error).

On another note I always wanted to be 6 of nine so 7 of nine would always be on top of me.

If you have never seen Star Trek Voyager you have no idea want I'm talking about.
 
48÷2(9+3)

Please Excuse my darn awesome salad

48/2(12)
48/24
2
 
RTBOB you have to remove it from parentheses first, so multiply 12 by 2. Then do the division.

pemdas..
 
Nope, rtbob is correct. I know username how you could have thought that but you add what is in the parenthesis, the P stands for what is in the parenthesis. So we know that it is 48/ 2(12). However order of operations, when multiplying and dividing have equal priority, you go from left to right, so it is (48/2)(12)=288
 
You need to remove it from parentheses first though. It is saying that 48 divided by 2 times the stuff between those parentheses.

This is correct. 288 is the right answer.
 
PURPLE! Because ice cream has no bones!







also the correct answer is 2 (order of operations FTW....oh SNAP!)
