Purple?
idk, I'm super horrible at math ; ; Why would anyone rage? And yeah what Joshia said
288.
Are you getting the FFXIAH community to help with your math homework? lol Pandemonium.Andypoole said: All I want to know is the answer to this problem: 48÷2(9+3) Let the rage commence. BEDMAS!!!!!
/RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!! noooo 4chan is leaking to over here lol

its two. people are doing the order wrong and getting 288 or w/e.
PEMDAS. Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Add Subtract. Parenthesis. (9+3) = (12) 48/2(12) Exponents. None Multiplication. 2(12) = 24 48/24 Division. 48/24 = 2. Answer is two, anyone that says otherwise is stupid. Bad notation no?
...versus... 48÷2(9+3)
48÷2(12) 24 x 12 288. For those who don't know this is from /b/. Alexander.Tidusblitz

(9+3) = (12) 48/2(12) Exponents. None Multiplication. 2(12) = 24 48/24 Division. 48/24 = 2. Answer is two, anyone that says otherwise is stupid. Actually... Woozie;4533571 said: Because it's not clear whether or not the (9+3) belongs in the numerator or denominator. Most calculators and computers would not put that in the denominator without a second set of brackets around this and the 2, and thus would give 288. Nobody is wrong or right (unless they're saying something other than 2 or 288). The question is ambiguous. This isn't even about PEMDAS. Even with the correct order of operation, you can still get both answers depending on how you interpret the problem I trust this guy. Multiplication doesn't trump division though, and since you're working left to right with both multiplication and division it would be:
48÷2(9+3) 48÷2(12) 24(12) 288 in for more rage. Alexander.Tidusblitz said: its two. people are doing the order wrong and getting 288 or w/e. PEMDAS. Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Add Subtract. Parenthesis. (9+3) = (12) 48/2(12) Exponents. None Multiplication. 2(12) = 24 48/24 Division. 48/24 = 2. Answer is two, anyone that says otherwise is stupid. Wow, a lot of you would really *** up if you ever had to write in reverse polish notation...
This question was asked on BG too.

Answer is two, anyone that says otherwise is stupid. exponents and roots multiplication and division addition and subtraction Multi/division are on the same line, and it seems to make sense. Notation is bad. Any math pretty much only uses lines for division.
Geez, i saw this damn thing on SC2 forums, its making its way everywhere like a virus...
either way answer is 2 yea, it makes perfect sense because it would make things that are equal unequal otherwise.
For example, dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by .5 If going left to right, you get the same answer, regardless. If going Multi then division, you'd get a diff answer from an equivalent term.

Edit' Nvm posted before I saw your answer. Pandemonium.Andypoole said: All I want to know is the answer to this problem: 48÷2(9+3) Let the rage commence. Add dat ***in the parentheses. Nine plus three is TOTALLY twelve. Multiplication/Division comes second, reading from left to right: 48÷2=24 Then, 24(12) is left. Answer obvious. It's like a gross, but, like, TIMES TWO. 288. The number of sex. Ah, yea my bad. I'm rusty on the maths. I wasn't really thinking about it when I first glanced, I just divided 48 by 2 at first. The way it's written the answer is 2. After calculating whats inside the parenthesis the next thing to do is 2(12). If the 48 divided by 2 was written like a fraction then it would be 288.

Going multi > division always is going to change your answer based on how you have the question written For example, making those 2 equal equations have different answers.

As for the OP, I can't make heads or tails of that problem. :/ I get 2 or 288, depending how I look at it.

=SUM(48/2*(9+3))
excel says 288 |
