I think we can agree that:

(48÷2)(9+3) = 288.

and:

48÷(2(9+3)) = 2.

If those two answers are accepted by all, then by applying the order of operations rule, specifically the do multiplicdation/division from left to right, it can be inferred that:

48÷2(9+3) = (48÷2)(9+3)

Thus the correct answer is 288.
