Half of you will get this wrong: 48÷2(9+3) = 288 or 2?

[ManInBlack]

its fucking 2!!!!

 

[ZECH]

48÷2(9+3)

See, here's the problem. In order to evaluate the 2(9+3) first, you'd need to have brackets around that part, like this:

48÷[2(9+3)]

Were this the case, the problem would reduce to
48÷[2(12)]
=48÷[24]
=2

But you don't. Without the [brackets] around 2(9+3), order of operations requires 48 to be divided by two (into 24), and that this result is then multiplied by 12. Hence the 288.

Yes^^ Left to right and stuff in parenthesis last.......(FOIL method) First, outside, inside, last)

its fucking 2!!!!

No, it really isn't. See my explanation, above.

 

[ManInBlack]

fuck this thread.

 

[FitnessBlogger]

so.. = (48/2)(9+3)

BEDMAS people.. 288.

 

[Diesel618]

fuck this thread.

and everyone in it.

math tards.

I'd like to see you faggots find your way around a biochem lab.

assholes.

 

[BillHicksFan]

I honestly don't understand the confusion. What is it with you meathead bodybuilders?

I did the shit in my head, it's basic math.

Not if you're doing the conversions for measurements, something might slpode....

 

[2B1]

2 Order of operations.

^^^ this
9+3=12
12*2=24
48/24=2

bingo

48 ÷ 2(12) = 2

lol @ retarded people.

It's definately 2.

me too...

 

[bulldogz]

lol...this is great..peoples are gettin pissed about this...

foil method is only if the equation was written: (48÷2)(9+3)...and actually only if both operation inside the parenthesis are the same...(x+y)(x+y)

 

[GearsMcGilf]

It's 288. Order of operations nigs! Multiplication comes before addition and subtraction. It doesn't matter if you use brackets or not.

 

[2B1]

X=48/2(9+3)
=48/(18+6)
=48/24
=2

It's 2.

 

[ManInBlack]

its fucking 2!!!!

 

[x~factor]

It's 288. I should know, I'm Asian. LOL

 

[ManInBlack]

It's 288. I should know, I'm Asian. LOL

that was pretty funny im not gonna lie, but its still 2

 

[ManInBlack]

OP, where did this math problem come from? it should go back from which it came

 

[MyK]

It's 288. I should know, I'm Asian. LOL

racists are killing this place!

Who really cares? Damn, I bet Prince didn't know this place would one day turn into and English and math forum.

fuck this thread

 

[Bigb21084]

Always do what is in the () first... (9+3)= 12... then multiplication goes next 2(12)=24... Thus leaving you with 48/12= two

division before multiplication!! dumbasss!!!!!!

[Bigb21084]

It is 288... Alpharam.com

 

[Curt James]

288

Close thread?

2

I fail to see why this is so confusing...Its simple arithmetic

heh

The OP better have the definitive answer!

 

[Curt James]

division before multiplication!! dumbasss!!!!!!

HEY! WATCH IT WITH THE "DUMBASS".
HE USED THE WORD THUS, PAL! ​

 

[AKIRA]

48÷2(9+3)

Once you add the 9 and the 3 and get 12, its in the parenthesis by itself. What is left to do inside the parenthesis since you do that first?

(According to "bedmas..")
