Math: right answer

[jansky]

48÷2(9+3)=

what is the right answer?

[robot.sonic]

2?

OT: paano yung divide na sign? di ko makita sa keyboard e.

[jansky]

aww.. paano pala to lagyan ng POLL

is it 2 or 288 ang answer hehe

paging Mods GH palagyan po ng POll
2
288

[mcbry]

answer is 2

[_Qwerty_]

48 / 2(9+3)
48 / 2(12)
48 / 24
2

[vito corleone]

no need for a poll. . .the answer is 2

[dcph172]

assuming i remember my high school math correctly, answer is 2.

simplify 2(9+3) first. then use the answer as the divisor of 48.

always remember the MDAS and BODMAS rule when it comes to order of operations.

[renzo_d10]

The answer is 2. Compute first the ones inside the parenthesis.

48 / 2(9+3)
48 / 2(12)
48 / 24
= 2.

Para deretsahan, 2 is the answer!

48÷2(9+3)=

what is the right answer?

48÷2(9+3) = 48÷2×(9+3) = 48÷2×(12) = 24(12) = 288

Multiplication and division have the same precedence, so whichever is ahead will be evaluated first.

^+1 ako dito

Yeah 288 din answer ko... If my math still serves me right...

+1, simplify first 2(9+3), before applying MDAS (multiply, divide, add, subtract), correct answer is 2.

[safeorigin]

288 is the correct answer coz it's not 48/(2(9+3)) which would otherwise result in 2

[shakatak70]

Just follow this mathematical rule

My (Multiplication)
Dear (Division)
Aunt (Addition)
Sally (subtraction)

answer is 2

[12vdc]

48
_______ = 2
2 (9+3)

[safeorigin]

the thing is you *should* follow MDAS rule however, (9+3) is *not* part of the divisor since it's not (2(9+3))

[niwde11]

^^ yes. and it only applies when there is no parenthesis. otherwise simplify the one inside the parenthesis first.
but the answer is still 2.

[safeorigin]

^yes, there's no parenthesis therefore you should not include it in the divisor:

48 x (9+3) = 288
2

Ano ba yan ...

Sabi ng scientific calculator ko, 2.

Calculator na yan ha ....
