I believe 288 because when there are two options like with 48/2x12 you work it left to right. That's what I was taught, and when I tutored algebra that's what I told kids to do so I hope that's right

Order of Operations
heres a problem with the same dilemma.
"20 ÷ (12 - 2) X 32 - 2 Everything in the brackets first
20 ÷ 10 X 32 - 2 Exponents
20 ÷ 10 X 9 - 2 Multiply and Divide as they appear
18 - 2 Add or Subtract as they appear
16 " (quote from link)
its 288.

Rules
"1. Calculations must be done from left to right. 2. Calculations in brackets (parenthesis) are done first. When you have more than one set of brackets, do the inner brackets first.
3. Exponents (or radicals) must be done next.
4. Multiply and divide in the order the operations occur.
5. Add and subtract in the order the operations occur."(same site as I linked before)
multiplying and dividing have the same value in terms of which goes first, as well as addition and subtraction. These are worked in the order they appear when you have the choice.

But you have to appreciate the beauty of math. Had this been an abstract concept, we would have a 20 page thread on our hands with flames and death threats between the divided groups of twoions and twohundredandeightyeightions.

You're making the mistake of thinking My Dear = Multiply then Divide when the rule is Multiply Or Divide depending on order of appearance from Left to Right... Originally Posted by KelJu

I think problems like this along with my dyslexia caused me to fail Algebra the first time around, because I am such an abstract thinker, I'd confuse myself until a teacher who saw that I could figure out the If, Then, Else & And/Or of computer programming with ease showed me the exact logic....

That whole order of operations things sounds vaguely familiar. Originally Posted by AKIRA

I'm an art teacher. I can draw a calculator but don't ask me to use one!
Of course they say that art and math are closely related, so...

Anyway, my vote is for 288.

are you not to assume that 48÷2(9+3) equals (48÷2(9+3))
