Hey retard, the P in PEMDAS that stands for parenthesis only refers to numbers IN THE PARENTHESES. After that step the equation should read 48/2*12 which gets solved left to right.

faggots PEMDAS says that multiplication and division have the same priority and should be done left to right. only niggers would get 2. the answer is 288.
https://www.cymath.com/answer.php?q=48%2F2%2A%289%2B3%29
Depending on whether one interprets the expression as (48/2)(9+3) or as 48/(2(9+3)) one gets 288 or 2. There is no standard convention as to which of these two ways the expression should be interpreted, so, in fact, 48/2(9+3) is ambiguous. To render it unambiguous, one should write it either as (48/2)(9+3) or 48/(2(9+3)). This applies, in general, to any expression of the form a/bc : one needs to insert parentheses to show whether one means (a/b)c or a/(bc).

>>707558078
But that's not the equation. Why would you add parenthesis where there are none?
>>707558072
My math teacher likes to put that face at the end of his e-mails.
>>707557464
Generally speaking though, you would assume left to right if parentheses are not included. So 288 is the more logical assumption.
BAPATDAMATSAS bitches, did you even go to math school
>>707558078
Thats not the equation the OP gave us faggot. Read it right
Flawed systems are to thank for this. You wouldnt be mad at a computer for having faulty programming. Youd blame the programmer. Same thing applies here. With the memetic devices used to remember functions, teachers didnt teach correctly.
If you just learned PEMDAS, then the answer is 2, and thats correct in most elementary schools eyes. 9+3 is 12, that times 2 is 24, which divides into 48 to become 2.
While we know that this is wrong, most will defend this.
Now, the correct way to do PEMDAS is (p)(e)(m>left to right>d)(a>left to right>s). Now with this we can get the right answer.
48/2(9+3), 9+3 is 12. Now there is only multiplication, and division, which is done left to right.
48/2 is 24, 24×12 is 288.
Can we all agree this expression needs more parentheses to be clearer
>>707558424
The problem is it is ambiguous. So there is no definitive answer unfortunately. Because they're both correct. Sorry to ruin the fun.
niggers aren't smart enough to show work so this must be b8

>Not knowing the order of operations
Hate to break it yo you, buuuut...
>>707558649
Well it's not exactly ambiguous unless it has a multitude of answers to it. This one only has two, in which it's acceptable to just assume which one to do first based on how it's written (so if the problem had the 48 over a horizontal line above the 2(3+9), then you could assume it's 2)

>>707559096
To this particular equation, yes. It is right to assume it's 288 due to the structure. However, if the equation looked like:
48
______
2(9+3)
Then it would be most logical to assume you have to work out the denominator and numerator before solving it all. Since the equation is not written out in such a way, you just go left to right.
>>707558977
The question is flawed. My mental state is fine.
>>707558893
No u
If we all disagreed, then we could all agree on our disagreement, problem solved
>>707559350
Yeah but the equation doesn't look like that retard
What if I told all of you that it could be either 2 or 288 depending on how the problem is interpenetrated because it is poorly written? What would you all say?
>>707559292
....Yeah
>>707559403
That's exactly what a retard pretending not to be retarded would say...
>>707555893
How about you fuck right off because there is no real world practical application for this bullshit mathematical semantics
48/2(9+3)
1st is parenthesis
48/(18+6)
Then Division
(48/18)+(48/6)
(8/3)+8
Then Addition
(32/3)=10.667
The answer is 32/3
Couldn't completely remember order of operations, but I guessed 288 and it seems I'm correct.
Almost said 36 like a retard, but then noticed I was pulling a plus sign out of my ass.
Between () goes first so

>>707559751
"/" isn't division. "/" is generally used interchangeably with "÷" because of computers and things being uses as single line operators, but in realty function different. Questions like these are set up in such a way to get people to argue the meaning of "/", which is why it is a poorly written question.

This... solidus vs obelus and mathematical semantics. Google.
2(9+3) doesnt take any initiative over 48/2. So you do the 48/2 first
>>707560010
But thats for numbers and letters used in a word processing program and not for images like OPs. If it was intended to be a fraction, it would have explicitly said so. But it is shown going left to right, how it was intended.

>>707557464
>>707558649
there is no ambiguity. the rules are clear. it's 288. interpreting it the other way is simply wrong.
>>707560010
Or another way of putting it...
48/(over)2(9+3)= 2
48÷(divided by) 2(9+3) = 288
People use / and ÷ the same, but as you can clearly see function differently.
>>707560301
Are you retarded?
>>707560425
No, but defending a wrong answer is. Youre just trolling at this point.
>>707560368
÷ and / operate in the exact same way. there is no different between them. there are no implied parenthesis.
>>707560484
This question is retarded.
>>707560301
Is it intending to be a fraction though? How do we know? Did the OP explicitly tell you that it was or wasn't supposed to be a fraction, or was he working within the constructs of whatever text program he was using? Sure sounds like ambiguity to me...
>>707556435
pemdas is a lie go die of cancer you fag
>>707560531
False, if that were the case I believe everyone would have come to the same answer.
>>707556723
probably both
Threads like these make me wonder whether people are just fucking around or if they're actually this ignorantly stubborn to not see the logic behind the "/" sign representing the division sign or a fraction.
>>707555893
Either 2 or 5 2/3. Nice bait, btw.
Dont know where 2(9+3)=(18+6)
The only time you do this is when there are variables. The whole point of brackets is to do that first, not expand them without actually doing the addition smh
>>707560646
just because many people are stupid doesn't mean what they believe has any credibility. they are just stupid and uninformed.
there is no ambiguity. this is an old meme.
you stupid motherfuckers you dont use " / " like that
>>707560735
It is a meme specifically because it is ambiguous. If OP had asked 1+1=? do you think we would be having this conversation?
>>707560735
Nice b8
>>707560863
the scientific community sees no ambiguity in it. only faggots on 4chan who like arguing.
Just because the 2 is next to the (9+3) without the multiplication sign does not mean this is to be done before the divsion. It still means multiply. The two things arent grouped
>>707560965
it's not bait you fucking faggot. it's the truth.
>>707560982
The scientific community uses more parenthesis.
>>707561051

48/((2*9)+(2*3))
48/(18+6)
48/24
2
>>707561655
Note that the reason you are get different answers from mathway and google calculator is that the algorithms they use for parsing input are different. These algorithms apparently (and understandably) leave it up to the user in this case to give input that can only be interpreted in one way. This is not the case, and is therefore why the two's answers differ.
>>707561609
and oh look, it even gives the same answer when i put 48÷2*(9+3) as input instead of 48/2*(9+3)
look at all that ambiguity!
p.s. there is no ambiguity. there is only 1 correct answer. other interpretations are idiotic.
>>707561609
Again my dude in today's age it is totally valid to interpret / as ÷ and call it a day, and while in most cases it will work out just fine clearly there are situations where it won't.
Thus the different answers from a calculator.
Thus the different answers from people (who I am giving the benefit of the doubt of being able to do simple math)
Thus the ambiguity.
I am not sure how you aren't seeing this.

it's because the scientific community decided how to interpret these things. specifically, with no ambiguity.
>>707561975
Which again, anyone with more than a 200 level understanding of mathematics would never write a problem like this.
It is almost like it is designed to target people with a high school understanding of math like say, I don't know, the majority of 4chan.

a layperson may have issues understanding how to solve a problem like this. i do not give them the benefit of the doubt. people, collectively, as stupid as fuck. this is why we have professionals who decide the consensus.

Alright, let me get this straight, apparently my schooling was fucking terrible.
I've been brought up with PEMDAS like everyone else, but I guess they taught it wrong.
I've always been told you do those six steps in order, but it's actually multiplication/division and addition/subtraction happening at the same time with the equation being solved left to right?
>>707558043
Are you retarded? It's not one term, the whole problem is the one term. Thus, you don't MULTIPLY which is why you did first. You follow PE(MD or DM) (AS or SA) aka PEMDAS.
