Based on this post I beg to differ. Remember kids, Multiplication/Division and Addition/Subtraction rank //equally with each other!// biggrin

Nope. They all multiplied 12 and 2 first then divided that by 48. You were supposed to divide 48 by 2 first (after you solve for parenthesis) THEN multiply 24 by 12. In order of operations, multiplication and division rank equals and are supposed to be solved left to right, multiplication doesn't come before division but people think it do because PEMDAS shows M then D. It should be more like P.E.(M or D solve this way ->) (A or S solve this way ->)

48/2(9+3) 48/2*12 24*12 24 times 12 is 288 PEMDAS Multiplication and division are on the same level, so you do whichever operation comes first in the problem. Unless this is supposed to be joke or something. Also, http://mathway.com/answer.aspx?p=basi?p=48SMB142(9+3)?p=2?p=?p=?p=?p=?p=0?p=?p=0?p=?p=?p=Simplify

Why did you write it as 48/2 first? You have to add nine and three because of PEMDAS. You should end up with 48/2(12). Now you have to do multiplication so you would get 48/24. Thus, this equals to two. This is not a joke.

9+3=12 48/2=24 42x12=288 You multiplied 2x12 first if you got 2, multiplication doesn't automatically come first, multiplication and division rank equally and you do them in order of left to right. Also, voting your own comment up is like high five-ing yourself.

Well you're supposed to love your own 3 best comments so they show up as your top 3 on your profile, but if this is the best he's got, then we've got work to do.

You can do that???? Fuck I'm about to get temporarily super self absorbed right now and search for my all time most awesomest comments.

I'm almost certain he means favourite your top three posts not comments.

Damn. I knew about the posts, but I was really excited if there was comments.

I'm not going to argue with you over this. Multiplication and division are on the same level, you do whichever one comes first in the expression. **Multiply OR divide, left to right.** (If I can't convince you then fuck it) http://www.mathsisfun.com/operation-order-pemdas.html

amirite, solving your math homework one question at a time.

Better question: Why the fuck did you post this on Amirite? This is for opinionated realizations or ideas, not facts (ESPECIALLY MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS) that have only one answer. And further, why'd you put something that's wrong?

start on the statement inside the parenthesis before doing the MDAS rule. so it's 2.
