I can do this math, order of operations. Parenthesis, so 9+3 = 12 You now have 48/2(12) Multiplication follows suit, so 12 x 2 = 24 Division is your final step… 48/24 = vagina. ---

288 48 ÷ 2 \* (9+3)= 48 ÷ 2 \* (12)= 48 ÷ 2 \* 12= 24 \* 12= 288 interesting though: ![http://cdn2.knowyourmeme.com/i/000/112/837/original/16h6ja8.jpg?1302454815](http://cdn2.knowyourmeme.com/i/000/112/837/original/16h6ja8.jpg?1302454815) What it comes down to is that this question is written out in poor form and it’s difficult to figure out what the author meant as far as order goes. Human error causes it to be misinterpreted. ---

> [@Paulo](#): > > BEDMAS > > So I’m going with 288. > > Brackets > Exponents > Division > Multiplication > Addition > Subtraction That’s the first I’ve ever heard of BEMDAS. I’ve always heard it as PEMDAS (Parentheses in stead of Brackets). Anyways, 288. Why is this even a discussion? edit- apparently this needs to be clarified PEMDAS or BEMDAS, whatever you like, you do Multiplication and Division left to right before doing Addition and Subtraction (which is again, left to right). ---

> [@DougFresh](#): > > I was always told PEMDAS, not BEDMAS. Fuck, I was screwed from the start. LOL it won’t make a difference. It’s just that you’re thinking you need to multiply 2 x 12 since the 12 is in parentheses when really the importance of it is just the operation within the parentheses. ---

multiply and divide are equal so (48/2)(9+3) = 288 48/2(9+3) = 2 ---
