482(9+3)

[thebaum64]

It is 2 by order of operations:
(9+3)= 12

12(2)= 24

48/24=2

Final answer is 2.

You expand the brackets first, so...
2(9+3) =
2(12) = 24.

Then...
48 / 24 = 2.
So the answer is, 2.

 

[Lyphiard]

It's not 2.

48 ÷ 2 (9 + 3)
48 ÷ 2 (12)
48 ÷ 2 x 12
24 x 12
=288

Seriously, just type it out on a calculator and find the right answer.

288

288

You just used a calculator, lmfao.

However, others will follow PEMDAS, a mnemonic term that stands for Parentheses, Exponentiation, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. By this logic, multiplication must take place before division, resulting in solving the problem as follows:

Anyone who learned about PEMDAS should have also learned that Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction are equal.

No lol, it's called bidmas dumbass.
Whoever needs a calculator is a moron.

Different people learn it in different ways. Don't get your panties in a bunch now.

He said I need led a calculator lol, k was simply giving some method behind it.

 

[Buffered]

LOL what the fuck have you guys been learning in school. Fuck the calculator and use order of operations. Answer is 2.

Using BIDMAS and using PEMDAS give different answers.

 

[thebaum64]

It's not 2.

48 ÷ 2 (9 + 3)
48 ÷ 2 (12)
48 ÷ 2 x 12
24 x 12
=288

Seriously, just type it out on a calculator and find the right answer.

Calculators do not always use Order of Operations properly.

 

[breeds]

haven't done this in a while 36?

48/2(9+3)
9+3 = 12
48/2+12
48/2=24
24+12=36

 

[Stuarrt]

get a life and figure it out

Already have one So far I've never had to use it.

Answer is 2. 48/(2(9+3)), if you use brackets.

Although, Wolfram Alpha, a computational knowledge engine returns 288.

This question is kinda stupid. It's similar to asking -4^2. Answer is obviously 16, but Wolfram Alpha returns -16.

It's similar to asking -4^2. Answer is obviously 16, but Wolfram Alpha returns -16.

-4^2 is actually -16. (-2)^2 is 16.

You don't include the negative sign when squaring unless there are brackets.
