I'm gonna divide 'em by a number.
What number, you ask?
Why that number is 2(9 + 3).
Anybody disagree that 2(9 + 3)=24?
If yes, return to 8th grade Beginning Algebra.
Anybody disagree that 48 divided by 24 is 2?
If yes, return to 3rd grade.
Sheesh.  |
It is funny that the ones most insistent they are right, and insulting about it are the ones who have it wrong.
48÷2(9+3) Start
Step one,
Perenthesis, gives us:
48÷2(12)
Next step,
Exponents. None of those, so we move on to
Multiplication and
Division, going left to right.
48÷2 = 24, leaving us
24(12)
24*12 = 288
We will ignore
AS because we are done.
