48÷2(9+3) =

[purbeast0]

for all the idiots that think this is 2...

48/2(9+3)

is the same exact thing as

48/2*(9+3)

as others in this thread have said ... i am disappoint with the ATOT nerds failing so hard.

 

[spidey07]

Do they not teach order of operations anymore? Geez.

 

[rcpratt]

It's 48 / ((2*9) + (2*3)), completely as written. Distributive operations have precedence.

Yeah that's...not a thing.

efight engaged.

Uh, you're thinking of (48/2)(9+3).
It must be the accent throwing you.

This is EPIC! I've gotta forward this to a math teacher from my buddy's school.

 

[qliveur]

WRONG. It is written just like you suggest it should be.

You people need to fucking learn your order of operations.



It's 48 / ((2*9) + (2*3)), completely as written. Distributive operations have precedence. Though given the actual textual representation used, the operation is ambiguous at best.
Yes I'm starting to start an efight.

This was my first guess.

 

[SunnyD]

Yeah that's...not a thing.

Ya-huh.
Personally, this is why I hate when people wrong equations in linear format.

 

[schneiderguy]

Apparently it's challenging for AT as well. I am disappoint.

More people answered 2 than 288, yikes D:

( I hope D: )

 

[NuroMancer]

Hmm, I did not think so many people would answer "2".

This.

I hope they are just trooollling.

 

[purbeast0]

what you just stated is also the same exact thing as the OP asked...

(unless my sarcasm meter is broken)

I fucking love Fridays.

Gotta get down (syndrome, apparently) on Friday!

The answer is two for you people that don't know order of operations.

Here's a nice little calculator to do it for you.

derp

From your own link:

Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.

So let's do the problem:

48÷2(9+3) = 48÷2(12)

No more calculations left in parenthesis, go to rule 2 (left to right)

24(12) = 288

6 or 8

 

[rcpratt]

This is seriously depressing.

 

[arcenite]

Oh I get it... the parenthesis around 48/2 is implied... interesting.

24 * 12.

I don't remember anything about implied parenthesis in school, but google translates

48/2*(9+3)

to (48 / 2) * (9 + 3)

Tricky.

Is 2 or the second option?

From your link:

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.


Google knows all

pie. the tasty math kind.

24 * 12.

I don't remember anything about implied parenthesis in school, but google translates

48/2*(9+3)

to (48 / 2) * (9 + 3)

Tricky.

What?

You're overcomplicating things, it isn't tricky.

Multiplication = division in terms of operator precedence

So evaluate left to right. There is no implied parenthesis.
