depending on how you do your order of operations, you get either 2 or 288 48/2(9+3) 48/2(12) 48/24 2 |

Brackets or parentheticals are only priority for the things inside the parentheses. The multiplication is simply a notation for standard multiplication. It's a trick because you want to think the 2 is attached in some special way to the 12 inside (it makes me almost want to think it's an exponential) but it's just multiplication. Quote: The standard order of operations, or precedence, is expressed in the following chart. terms inside brackets exponents and roots multiplication and division addition and subtraction But the answer is still 42. |
