the link, the () create a multiplication which puts it in the denominator, tell big dave his sister should choose another career

according to the laws of math the first step will leave it standing as 48/2(12)
then 48/24

so you agree the answer is 2, but since it's in texas and therefore bigger it MUST be 288

i hear ya, but that attitude is what's gotten our country where it is today!

this thread reminds me of an old friend who refuses to admit a thumb is a finger. 'its not a finger, its a thumb!'

PURE RETARDATION.

put the equation into google and came upon threads in phsyics and math forums, can't understand a XXXXing thing they are saying but they are all split.....but with really fancy arguements for each side

In PEMDAS multiplication and division have the same priority
so you do parenthesis then exponent then M/D then A/S
Parenthesis 9+3=12
M/D Left to right because we speak english (and that's the rule)
48/2 = 24 * 12=288
