oh s**t it wasn't until you quoted it that i realized what the joke was!!! :lol: :lol:

This is almost as bad as a curado vs. revo thead.

Chuck Norris is the answer

-gk

The answer to everything is 42.... DONE!

So long, thanks for all the fish.

presented like you did in the title it's 288

once you've completed the parenthesis its just basically 48/2*12, since multiplication and division are both equal importance you go left to right and do whichever comes first, 48/2 = 24, 24*12=288

only way it would be 2 is if presented to you like 48/(2(9+3))

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This

The answer is 2. You have to clear the parenthesis first. 48/2(9+3)= 48/2(12)= 48/24= 2

Since I am not a betting man, but would be willing to answer.......my lack of defined math skills tells me the answer is 288. You have to clear the (9+3) first to make 12. Then you have to work left to right to clear the remaining actions since Division and Multiplication are equal. 48/2= 24. 24x12= 288. Best of my knowledge from my college days. Maybe having a beer or two would bring back any old missing memories.

The answer is 288. Final answer.

Want proof?

Google

Wolfram Alpha

Plug it into Mathematica, Matlab, C, C++, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Excel etc etc etc

Without the proper parenthesis you have to use the order of operations which is done left to right.

This is also why mathematicians developed parenthesis! no ambiguity!

See, I told yall so. Geeeeesh

Please Excused My Dear Aunt Sally. I got 288, too.

The answer is 2. You have to clear the parenthesis first. 48/2(9+3)= 48/2(12)= 48/24= 2

Nope. It's 48/2(12)=24(12)=288

Left to right with multiplication and division.
