to be honest im just confusedGooners wrote:
48 is the numerator termShocking wrote:
I thought so, but they're interpreting it as 48/(2(9+3))
2(9+3) is the denominator term
how are people getting 2? wtf

debate of precedence
you work from right to left?
inane little opines
No, because of the amibuity of what is meant by the division sign, people argue if what is meant is
__48__ = 48/24 = 2
2(9+3)
or
_48_ (9+3) = 24(12) =288
2
__48__ = 48/24 = 2
2(9+3)
or
_48_ (9+3) = 24(12) =288

my m8 whos an expert mathematician says its 2 and he said if anyone says 288 they r stupid
that's what the whole debate is about, how people interpret that division signDesertFox- wrote:

but
48/2(9+3)
is the same as
48/2*(9+3)
or am I crazy
48/2(9+3)
is the same as
48/2*(9+3)
or am I crazy
inane little opines
You're crazy
yes. but due to bedmas you would solve whatever is inside the brackets first.
pemdas*
kys*
then you're left with 48/2*12
that can in no way turn out to be 2
that can in no way turn out to be 2
inane little opines
so we agree...pemdas
2*12 = 24
48/24 = 2
48/24 = 2
2x12 = 24
48/24 = 2
i don't see what's so confusing here
48/24 = 2
i don't see what's so confusing here
trolls still going^^^
BIDMAS gives 288
If the 2 was part of the bracket operation, it would be in more brackets. Saying that is just wrong.

what gives the multiplication precedence over division?

Voted 2 on looking at it for a second but it's actually 288 when you think about it.
Liking the variants on BODMAS/BIDMAS/PEMDAS.
