48/2(9+3)

48/24 is 2... WTH.
You added two eights after pressing enter on the other calc?

That's one crazy thumbnail.

This is correct. 48/2(9+3) = (48)/(2(9+3)), not (48/2)(9+3) in case that's what you were thinking.

2 is good your wrong, cos its 48/ (2x12) so its 48/24 and its 2

does no one remember PEMDAS? Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply/Divide, Add/Subtract

Ignoring the fact that the problem itself is poorly written, which is the source of the confusion...

The rules are, parentheses first,then exponents, then multiplication, then addition (division and subtraction are just different forms of multiplication/addition).

So
-48/2(9+3)
-2. 48/212
-3. 24 12
-4. 288.

The calculator reporting 2 you should scrap.

Booth is possible:
(48 / 2) (9 + 3) -->
48 / 2 = 24
24 (9 + 3) = 288

48 / (2 (9 + 3)) -->
2 (9 + 3) = 24
48 / 24 = 2

By the way the formula is displayed it could be interpreted booth ways!

Herp. Order of operations was done correctly by the calculators. No point in this topic....

So 48/2=24 and 9+3=12 then 24*12=288
So the result is 288 ? Am I right ?

Anyway what is that pony (if is a pony) doing in the background on the computer ?

First thing to do is math in brackets, so it will end up being 48/2*12.
No more extra brackets and you can't add your own. It changes sh!t!
Now you have to do two operations of equal level. Hence you go from left to right.
You get 288.

Love the idea of my first post here being about maht. :-P

I was unaware there were so many uneducated people here.
PEMDAS + Left to right

48/2(9+3)

48/2*(9+3)

48/2*(12)

48/2*12

288

2x÷2x = ?

LOL by the way my calculator do both results 48/2(9+3)=2 and 48/2*(9+3)=288... and i've got casio fx-570es plus

Insert () everywhere and it will be fine)
Just interested if there is "x" symbol missing? Maybe there is the problem?

PEMDAS:
Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Y u guys no pay attention in class?? lol

My calc says it's 288

I’m a math professor, and my view is that although the standard convention, if applied precisely and rigorously, does give an unambiguous procedure to follow, nobody, and that includes professional mathematicians, would ever write a formula like this. This is mostly because, after about 3rd grade, none of us ever use the division symbol ever again.

Dude, you haven't input them right. As you know there are sign for multipliyng, divinding and so on... On both calculators you haven't entered nothing except divinding.

On the first calculator it calculated this:

48 dividing by 2 multiplying by 12. Here is it :
(48/2 )(9+3)= 2412 = 288
on the other it's 48/[2(9+3)] = 48/[212]=48/24=2

Are you one of the 1+1*0=0 guys or you just are ripped off too much for the second calculator?

The calculator with "2" shows the result for 48/[2(9+3)]=48/(29)+(23)=48/(18+6)=48/24=2.
The calculator with "288" shows the result for (48/2)(9+3)=(24)(9+3)=(249)+(24*3)=216+72=288.
This is why in math you use the fraction,to avoid confusion caused by the "/" sign.

288

Also I learned BEDMAS, not PEMDAS, but it works the same.

That said, please excuse my drunk aunt sally is way better, imo

its 288.

Order of Operations: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Divison(left to right), Addition/Subtraction(left to right)

48/2(9+3)--> 48/2(12) (parenthesis first. no exponents, so we go straight to multiplication/division. whichever is first on the left side is calculated first)

48/2(12)--> 24(12)--> 288.

The answer would only be 2 if the equation was set up like this instead--> 48/[2(9+3)].

OP is trolling. -_-

He didn't press the equals symbol otherwise it would've shown at the end of the equation line.

Peter Eats Moldy Doritos And Salsa, people!
It is 288. There's reasons I don't trust calculators for everything.

lol i dont get whats so hard here its simple math... just to you who forgot ill make it fast and simple:
( ) are top priority so solve it first you get 9+3=12 yeah than you have 48/2(12) kay and you SHOULD know ( ) comes before Multiplication and Division so first you do 2*(12) and not 48/2 cus you have to solve the ( ) yet you get it? easy whats so hard here problem solved.
