GB Nerds are Retarded! Heres proof

You bitches are making me post again on this shit, and for the last time. All you fucks who say the answer is 2, READ THE FOLLOWING:

48/2(12) is the same as
42/2x12

Multiplication has NO PRECIDENCE over division which means you calculate from LEFT TO RIGHT.

42/2(12)
=24(12)
=288

Retards.

Where did you read that multiplication has no precedence over division? If that is the case I understand you're reasoning. But I was never taught that, I was always taught PEMDAS in that exact order.

A common technique for remembering the order of operations is the abbreviation "PEMDAS", which is turned into the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction". This tells you the ranks of the operations: Parentheses outrank exponents, which outrank multiplication and division (but multiplication and division are at the same rank), and these two outrank addition and subtraction (which are together on the bottom rank). When you have a bunch of operations of the same rank, you just operate from left to right. For instance, 15 ÷ 3 × 4 is not 15 ÷ 12, but is rather 5 × 4, because, going from left to right, you get to the division first.

Pick one

Haha, well I was wronged by my math teacher apparently. You, kind Canadian sir, are correct and I will now concede. You may have won this math battle, but you have not won the math war!!!

or


48

basically the moral of the story is this is a terribly written equation and KD and I are correct.

its a terribly written equation and everyone is right because you can get botrh answers.

now let this thread die

It is not an equation!!!! Pounded 1: Penguin 1

Was that ur expression when u found out it was an EXPRESSION. Nuk nuk nuk nuk

if you dont think the answer is 288 you shouldnt have kids. ever. you will make them fail at life

Wow already at 5 pages... If this thread reaches 10 fucking pages I will lock it!!

Is that a promise?

If you locked it now it would probably help.

my doctor called its still 288

that sexy babe in darkness's sig says its 288

There's a video of someone asking Steven Hawking. He says its 2. Game over.

proof

heres really proof of what ive been saying the entire time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U706g7_m_78&NR=1

yeah the ppl that think its 288 have an entirely different problem! there is no * between the 2(9+3).. so therefore you solve the parathese first dumbfucks! which is 12 so problem is 48/2(12).

end of story

2(12) is stating 2*12 the parentheses don't matter at that point in time

yes they do you have to multiply 2(12) so thats 24...then the problem is 48/24=2..not 288 sorry brohando

You don't multiply before dividing...The debate is split throughout depending on how you were taught and what system of math you follow you either have 288 or 2....and it's 288 because at the end of the day that is what Google says and all know that Google is Oz...
