Can you math Cred Forums?

A = 48/2*12
A = 24*12
A = 288

That's how i remember my math.

Yes young grasshopper.. there be morons in this world.

48/2 (9+3)
48/2*12
24*12
288

BIDMAS

48/2(9+3)

9+3=+12

48/2=24

24+12=36

The answer is 288... this is the reason why. In math you follow one of many rules, and it is called the order of operations. It goes like this.

Brackets
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Otherwise known as BEMDAS. In the order of operations you also work left to right when you have both multiplication and division, as well as when you have both addition and subtraction. So it's really more like...

Brackets
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

"So where do we start in this problem?"

You start with what is in the brackets because that is what comes first in BEMDAS. That makes our current problem, after adding "9" and "3",

48/2*12

Next we move on, having no exponents, to our M/D. These two are interchangable in BEMDAS and you work from left to right when you encounter both of these. So next you would logically do 48 divided by 2. This makes our problem...

24*12

Which puts us at our final answer.

288

why did you skip the division? You stay in school.

>the 2 is not in a additional set of parenthesis or brackets
>this means its 48/2 * (9+3)
>would blame schools but i learned this in elementary school before PC took over
>this means you are product of newer school systems
>new system lets retards who are black or hispanic pass since its not fair to fail them if they don't know material
>you don't know basic math
nigger or spic detected

And what retarded planet did you come from exactly?

48/2(9+3)
48 / 18 + 6
2.666666 + 6

PEMDAS you dumb motherfuckers

It's maths, not math. It's a plural because mathematics is a collection of topics and therefore plural. Why can't you Americans get this simple fact into your heads.

all of these people acting like they are in elementary school with how they read math
oh wait....*gets it* ooohhh you're all little kids and just haven't advanced to real math yet
op you made me think all these kids saying answer is 2 were adults made me both angry and scared at how dumb they were

>substructure

This

Also answer is 288 with the way its written on OP

Order of OPs OP.

you people go around saying "maths"?
that sounds hilarious like a bunch of fucking mongoloids
>hurr durr maths

dude. its not ambiguous. brackets are very important if you're writing on a "1 line 10-digit display".

so if you want it to be the case where you get 2, you're supposed to write 48/(2(9+3)). you cannot assume that the "/" sign encompasses the entire 2(9+3)

288

48/2(9+3)
24*12
288

ITS NOT 2!!!

It's 48

2 and 288 are both correct.

math is not as black and white as people assume.

google it and educated yourself.

>Why can't you Americans get this simple fact into your heads

because it sounds stupid

these are the most retarded threads on Cred Forums, and that's saying something

Thanks captain faggot

i am a Chinese math professor and this statement is correct

>didn't use pemdas
>pemdas is taught in fucking 3rd grade
>"hurr durr stay in school faggots"

Bait?

Mathnerds, nerds and faggots alike, cucks, fakes, losers and richfags, when in doubt the anewer to ANY problem is
