Huh?
You solve the portion in the parenthesis. Once you do this the parenthesis do not carry over. They are treated as a multiplication sign at that point out.
Showing work:
48/2(9+3)
48/2(12) or rewritten 48/2*12
24*12
288
If it was meant to be answered "2" it would've been written:
48/[2(9+3)]
Sorry. Answer is 288.
Edit: When talking about PEMDAS, you are correct Parenthesis comes first. What that means is You solve everything INSIDE the parenthesis first. That's why they don't continue over and you get 288.

Math is not my strong point.
And the fact that I've forgotten the majority of the rules on how to solve equations.

288 is the correct answer. if you got anything other then this please go back to the 7th grade and try again.

Multiplication and division have the same priority in the order of operations. You read it from left to right.
This is a flawed problem, though, because it's ambiguous.
The correct answer is 288. The work inside the parentheses is done first, and then you multiply and divide from left to right.
PEMDAS is not the only thing that determines the priority of the functions, it's the order that they're written in.
EDIT: Ah, what I meant is that division is really the multiplication of the reciprocal, so that allows you to read it from left to right.

I can easily admit that i don't know much math for ***and its been my major hold back in college.
But honestly involving this entire conversation....
Go spend like 30$ at the store and buy a TI calculator... and just *** plug in the problem exactly as it shows on paper... and hit *** enter.
There is your answer... and best of all... you can KEEP the fancy calculator for the next amazingly pointless math problem you may encounter.
Staples... that was *** easy.

Order of Operations
Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

Order of Operations: PEMDAS
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication & Division (Same level, left to right)
Addition & Subtraction (Same level, left to right)
Of course, this is all affected based on what number theory you are using.
However, in the basic number theory, we'll have to do this:
48/2(9+3)
48/2*12
24*12

well what you posted was 24, but either way, order of operations still holds true
Its simple order of opperations
PE-MD-AS
Perentasis/Exponent - Multiply/Divide - Add/subract
Each grouping is to be done in order.
Each two withing a group are to be done as you come upon them in an equasion. EX: 5 + 10 / 5 * 4 Since division and multiplacation are grouped together, u do them as u come upon them. So 10/5 first. That answer then *4.
So for the actuly problem in the begining.
48÷2(9+3)
1. Perentacies/exponent
= 48/2(12)
2. Multiplacation/division (in order you come upon them)
= 24(12)
= 288
3. Add/subtract
N/A in this problem.
Answer is 288

Turbo Pascal says 288.

I think what's confusing most people is the (12) part. They are thinking that since there are still () there, that there is more to be done. This is not the case. With PEMDAS, the parenthesis ONLY refers to what was inside the (). Once you have solved that, you are done. You don't bring in outside parts to it or else your answer will be wrong as you did something wrong in solving. 288

Thats true, while you do whats in perentasis first, it is also occasionly used as a multplier sign.
