288, it's coming down to multiplication and division, so you go left to right. No operation takes preference over the other.

doing integral calculus for the past week, these basics define whether the answer is right or terrifyingly wrong.
48
----------  =  2
2(9+3)

On my calculator...

48/2*(9+3) = 288 (as you'd expect)
48/2(9+3) = 2 (as you'd expect)
48                 48  <->   (9+3)          48*(9+3)
-- * (9+3) =  ---    *     -----        = -------------
2                    2   <->   1                    2

that's how fractions work

You can't just add a multiplication sign where ever you want it.

Therefore its 2.  It is pretty poor notation though.

What if you put in x for (9+3) so that it was 48/2x.  Would you still decide to switch it to 48x/2?

It is 2, you multiply before dividing.
288 = (48/2)(9+3)

Anyways, the lesson here is too always use (...) to clarify what you mean?

And good point @ Winston_Churchill on page 1, nobody would switch it too 48x/2, does not make sense

Clearly the type of division symbol is the underlying problem here.
It is, because that's what makes it vague. If you use the normal fractional method you would definitively know if 48/2x(9+3) or 48/[2(9+3)] is meant

Only an ape would come up with 288, the answer is 2 if you're intelligent.
