sigh....
48/2*(9+3)
parentheses then left to right as multiplication doesn't take precedence over division (they're equal and so you go left to right)
so it becomes 48/2*12
bloody bodybuilding.com -_-
this was even posted on a trader forum, and all the traders got 288 and the non traders were freaking out cuz they got 2
here's a new way that bedmas/pedmas/pemdas/etc is explained Quote: |
"Pandas Eat: Mustard on Dumplings, and Apples with Spice." The intention being that Mustard and Dumplings is a "dinner course" and that Apples and Spice is a "dessert course." Then it becomes not a linear string of operations to do one after the other, but rather the "dinner course" operations are considered together and performed left to right, and then addition and subtraction are considered together, again performed again left to right.

It's 288... because you need to solve the bracket first and the compute in order... so the question becomes
48÷2*(12)-->48÷2=24-->24*12=288.
Whoever getting 2 as result got confused with the bracket and thought it as..
48÷[2*(9+3)]
the original bracket was on 9+3.. but not the 2*... so you can't multiply them first and then settle the division.

If I had to give an answer I'd say 2 because more than likely the person giving this question intended it to be 2, but this is a definitely a troll question because it is ambiguous.
ambiguous and definitely bad form. I've had friends who took calc after me (same course but one semester after) ask me for help and occasionally stuff like this comes up and I'd have to ask them to clarify because they don't bother putting brackets where they should.
PS. wow haven't seen anyone use the "÷" symbol in years.
edited as i explained better in later posts

48÷2(9+3) = 2
(48÷2)(9+3) = 288
bracket(s) solve first - Grade 5 Math?

I got 2. If BEDMAS being drilled into you in HS doesn't work....then you got some problems if you do those skill testing questions they make you do if you wanna win stuff haha. You need to get rid of all brackets before moving onto the next operation i think. And as someone noted above, proper brackets are missing, so this just makes how to solve the question difficult and ambiguous on how to answer it.
I saw it as:
48÷2(9+3)
BRACKETS
48/2(12)
MULTIPLY(to get rid of all brackets first)
48/24
DIVIDE
2
