You need (or at least should have) parenthesis around the denominator, or around the individual fraction. Otherwise it's difficult to determine whether or not you divide or multiply first. But since there's no parenthesis here, and division and multiplication have equal priority:
48/2(12)
24/12
2

>Multiply or divide from LEFT TO RIGHT

Wow look there's two of them. You autistic fucks normally you wouldn't write it in this format it would be written as a fraction and you would have to simplify this before dividing.

It could also be 2 if you do it the PEMDAS way, but the answer is either one.
Its 2. No matter what you want to think, anything attached to the parentheses is solved at the same time as what is in them.

Multiply and divide, from left to right
add and subtract, from left to right
PEMDAS is not to be taken literally

>>707272281
Not so interesting fact, in Canada I learned it as BEDMAS
>>707270447
what is the curved line mean?
THE TRUE ANSWER IS 240.
There are two answers. 2, and 288. The real answer is that both sides are correct to a point.
Position 1: The Order of Operations: This stance states that since the standard oder of operations puts multiplication and division on the same rank, the equasion can be read as (48/2)+(9+3). This reigns with truth as 48/2(9+3) is the same as 48/2*(9+3). Using the standardized left-ro-right notation, the answer can be nothing outside of 288. This left-to-right concept is indicative of PEMDAS that we all learned in grade school.
Position 2: The distributive property: This stance states that multiplication through juxtaposition, being a commonplace concept, naturally makes a parenthetical implication around grouped numbers. Thus, the equastion appears as 48/[2(9+3)]. This technique is correct as well. However, this makes the answer 2.
tl:dr
There's two answers that are both 100% correct.

You do the parenthesis first which is 12
Then you divide 48 by 2 which is 24 then multiply 24 times 12 which is 288
PE MD AS
The md is multiply and divide but on the equation divide came first so you do division first
>>707273058
if the same calculation were on a test or quiz for 3rd grade or w/e level math this is considered, the instructor would either phrase it as (48/2)(9+3) or 48/(2(9+3))
and honestly, I don't think you would see a calculation like this anywhere aside from in school
here's the thing.
there are two ways to write out division problems -- with the "/" and by using a big line with stuff on top and bottom. when you use "/" inline, you MUST add extra parens or brackets, otherwise it needs to be done strictly left to right in PEMDAS order.
10/5+2 = 4
10
------- = 1
5 + 2
not even a math question -- just a question about the conventions used to write out math questions.
>>707273733
Mama mia! Your retarded Luigi!
These posts are stupid.
It's BEDMAS/PEMDAS/whatever the hell you want to call it.
Brackets
Exponents
Division/Multiplication
Addition/Subtraction
Notice how I put Division and Multiplication on the same line (as with Addition and Subtraction)?
That's because the inherent order of those operations within each pair do not matter. It's not always division first because the D comes first in BEDMAS. It's just mnemonic, and the rule with the mnemonic is which ever of M or D come first in the equation.
I see the above being argued way too often with these questions. People are idiot. That is not the issue.
The issue is the brackets. "Brackets" in BEDMAS refers to operations within the brackets, but the mnemonic does not talk about the implicit multiplication of the brackets, as a whole, with its neighbouring number.
For example, 48/2(9+3).
(9+3)=12. Always. Settled.
What we next need to decide is if we prioritize the implicit multiplication before following the rest of BEDMAS; do we move on to the next stage, or should we continue to simplify the brackets?
Doing the implicit multiplication gives 48/24=2.
If you move on to BEDMAS and treat the brackets as a simple multiplication (48/2*12), then reading left to right, you get 24*12=288/
Different fields choose different standards.You'll always have this divide.

Math degree checking in. 288. Can't believe there's this much argument. You can't just decide to interpret it as a fraction with 12 in the denominator. If that's what it meant, it would have parentheses around it to show.

What does a division sign do? It separates the numerator and denominator.

has a nice piece on the ambiguity of the question (which is my argument), and it's from Berkeley, if you really want to worry about prestige.
Math is 100% interpretation. If you refuse to even entertain the idea otherwise its quite the demonstration that you have not studied mathematics beyond grade school (which is fine if you pursued other subjects, just don't go around pretending to be a master in it).
Um, so you do the one in parentheses first, then you solve left to right, (3+9)=12 then 48/2 is 24, then 24(12) is 288

No, you should learn math prior to trying to solve the problem. It is unambiguously 288.

What? There is no interpretation.
This isn't a fucking pe class. This is math. Which has rules.
If the denominator was encapsulated in parenthesis this would be a different story.
/ is used primarily in computer computation due to it being a fucking character on a keyboard hence
There is no interpretation to be had.
This was not a hand written equation.
If fed into any logic process (unlike your brain) the answer is logically sound.
Now if you want your own artist rendition with your extra invisible parenthesis be your guest. It's only a rendition of fiction and the answer remains the same.

What the hell do you think 2(9+3) is?
>>707278232
yes, but that difference means the difference between executing the multiplication or division first
y'all 288ers forgetting that it is 2(9+3) and not 2*(9+3) parenthetical statements need to be distributed first
2(9+3) distribute the 2 becomes (18+6) becomes 24

Math has rules, yes.
But math is very, very open to interpretation, also.
>>707278161
BEDMAS is a grade 2 concept sure, but you are stuck in a grade 2 mindset.
If your understanding of math is limited to grade school, fine, be satisfied with your knowledge and continue on your way, but there is much more to this question than order of operations.
I am not even arguing the answer is not 288. I'm arguing the question is ambiguous and both answers can be interpreted as correct.
Saying it is 2 is not wrong.
That is one of the beautiful thing about math. Also one of the dangers!
>>707278419

that proves nothing other than an algorithm that is programmed to subscribe to one interpretation says the answer is 288, which everyone already agrees on
>>707278793
2 is 100% wrong in every possible way, since math has rules. You can call a triangle a square, but you would have to redefine geometry.
Type the problem into Bing, Google, Wolfram, whatever... they will return 288.
Take 5 minutes and try it. Then go and actually learn the order of operations.
>>707278959

most autistic kids are probably smarter than you anyway.

>>707278898

>>707278925
thats actually false, while pemdas does work most of the time, multiplication and division can be done in any order from left to right (like subtraction with addition as they could be rewritten as division and multiplication).
>>707276101
There's no way you're not a troll.
>>707278925
nope!
nice try, but that is a misunderstanding.
you say notice some people don't even use PEMDAS, but instead use PEDMAS or BEDMAS, with D before M.
That is because D and M (and A and S) are interchangeable!
The issue with this question is either the way the question is presented or the order of distributive property.
You dumb fucks have given me a good laugh. Anything other than 288 is wrong. What worries me is that I hope you are all trolls because it would be very scary knowing there are this many numbnuts out there.

Can you faggots stop saying interpretation like it means something in mathematics? You're what's wrong with this world you mentally handicapped twats.
>>707278975
Nope. Those two different statements in mathematics, to be technical. Simply put, there are the same yes, but they are different, and with this problem it does make a difference.
If you get a chance, take an abstract algebra course in university, or a course that redefines mathematics from the ground up in nontraditional terms (complex analysis and set theory both traditionally do this at the beginning of their courses to help better understand later content)
>>707278925
WRONG BITCH
Multiplication and Division are given equal priority, as are Subtraction and Addition. A quick google search will inform you of this.
Think about it:
2 divided by 4 is 0.5.
2 times (1 divided by 4) is 0.5
The two things are the same operation, only applied to either the original number or its reciprocal.
Same for addition and subtraction. 1+1 is the same as 1-(-1). Same operation, only difference is positive or negative.
They are given equal priority in the order of operations, it's just impossible to convey that with an Acronym.
>>707279536
>implying basic mathematics is theoretical.
>>707278834
Uh that's a child so I turned it off. I have an applied math degree from the University of Washington in Seattle.
Go learn the order of operations.
There are in fact times when math is ambiguous, i.e.
(x)^2 = 4 is x -2 or 2? -2*-2 =4 and 2*2=4
so we say x is plus or minus.
We don't say 288 or 2 in this equation, we say 288.
>>707279536
That is why it is called a theory you idiot lmao, my sides are gone lol

This is so fucking dumb, math has rules.

Black and white, clear as crystal.

With your logic, we could mathematically determine that the velocity of the Meteor heading towards earth is either 50000 miles per hour, or 20 miles per hour.
NASA would not be guessing as to which it was. They would know quite clearly. They would similarly know that the answer to the question posed by the King Faggot, OP, is 288.
Mathematics are not open to interpretation in the slightest degree. At best, you have equation manipulation, but an incorrect manipulation is not magically correct because you interpret it to be.
For the love of all that is factual, the people who designed the communication network you're using to publish your stupidity understood precisely how very wrong you are. Your words disgrace them. You should feel ashamed, and when you're done feeling ashamed, you should go back to elementary school.

No. Learn the order of operations.
>>707280090
no, this is not advanced mathematics. This is a simple pemdas question. Order of operations. This is not factoring, distributing, and polynomial equations. This is basic 4th grade math. There is one answer 288 and that is it. If you are fucking up and distributing, looking at 2 equations then you are a retard. Unless more is added to this equation for example an = with x+y to it then you can do more algebra. But nope, this is a simple math question. Don't go joining the retards on this thread now.
>>707280189
>9+3=13
>>707270447
48÷2(9+3) = ? is a math problem that leads to two different answers depending on the order of operations[1] used. Since 2011, message board users have debated over whether 2 or 288 is the correct answer to the problem, with no conclusive answer. This and another seemingly impossible equations have been a hot topic of forum debate that are sometimes used to troll other posters who will vehemently argue that their answer is the definitive one.
>>707280641
You can at least type too! :) Good for you buddy.
>>707278793
Saying it is 2 is wrong.
Its not that interpretation is wrong.
It is YOUR interpretation is wrong.
You cannot, and let me stress, CANNOT add your own parenthesis to this equation and call it correct.

>>707280090
I am going to assume that most people are misunderstanding and "over complicating" the problem to give themselves a wrong answer. When I was glimpsing the problem itself, I nearly made that mistake by over complicating the problem by looking at the whole thing as it was a fraction alone (hence looking at 48/2(3+9) where the right set of the problem was all a denominator. I thought again, redid the problem to result 288 to not looking the whole set as a fraction but rather "division" and multiplication.
>>707279632

They would know the difference between the answer being 50000 or 20 because hey would know the intended interpretation and not use stupid fucking notation like a slash.

PEMDAS implies that Multiplication comes before Division.
Multiplication and division are the same thing, and addition/subtraction are the same thing.

It is in fact interesting to me how people can argue 2, when they clearly see results from google and wolfram tell them that they are wrong.
My theory is that they need to sleep on it since they learned PEMDAS incorrectly in grade school and ran with it for a decade plus. So it is a fact that clearly flies in the face of their view on reality.
Its ambiguous because its a faulty question
The next thing you'll know is that we'll be arguing over whether 1 = 0.99999......
>>707280559
You're faulty. The question being asked is fine.
Consider this, and listen up the rest of you neanderthals, this is important:
When I speak, I speak in English. My mouth makes a series of sounds which other humans recognize as being part of the English language. If you play those sounds in any order other than the order that I spoke them in, they very quickly lose meaning.
Further, when I type, I do so in English. difficult. very them reading make will order conventional agreed-upon, the than other order any in them putting but language, English the in words form that characters type I
hellish Scrambling just And them. is
And while it's true that there are plenty of other linguistic systems in place around the world, many places stick to one. Trying to use the same words or characters but changing the order in which you use them will scramble your meaning entirely.
And that's the point I want to make here. We, as humanity, could have agreed on a different way of setting up and evaluating our equations and expressions in mathematics. We didn't.
Stick to the Order of Operations, or everything falls to shit. Get a math degree and then you can propose changes. Until then, get in line or stop acting like you know anything about math.
