Math: right answer

[jansky]

hehe MDAS followed some got 288 some got 2

mamaya magkakaron na ng bago ang DAMASS

[Haruto]

Hahahaha! may isa sigurong math geek na nakaisip ng kalokohang ito at naging viral. Siguro yung nagpasimuno nito nag rofl na sa kakatawa =)) hahahahhahahahhah!

pero galing ng nakaisip ng poll na yun hehehe. mapapaisip ka talaga :P

[ghosthunter]

POLL added.

Have fun boys...

[jansky]

GH.. thanks ,

what is your answer pala here? lol

[CVT]

O ayan,- sinamahan pa ng quadratic formula/equation.... :hysterical:

Lalung gumulo....

12.8K:toma:

[roninblade]

solve the numbers enclosed in parenthesis first then apply the MDAS rule.

but the mdas rule states that multiplication and division has equal precedence, and with equal operators you evaluate the expression from left to right ;)

Have fun boys...

but this is not a matter of opinion. ..those who say the answer is 288 are just plain wrong

I know, but with the poll, you will know who answered it right or wrong.

[renzo_d10]

Multiplication comes first before Division right ?

So you do it this way ...

48÷2(9+3)=?
=48÷2(12)
=48÷24
=2

Rather than doing it this way ...

48÷2(9+3)=?
=48÷2*12
=24*12
=288

....

haha. . .you got it right, gh :-)

[renzo_d10]

Pansin ko lang ano ... ba't wala pa yata bumoboto sa 288 ? Hahaha.

BTW, *foifoi05
- How did you end up with 42 again ?

[dodongo]

2

PEMDAS.

Parentheses, Exponent, X, /, -, +

The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything = 42.

lols, marami kasi hindi makapaniwala or ayaw maniwala na mali sila. MDAS rule is there for a reason. The correct answer is 2. marami naring nagexplain kung bakit 2 ang sagot. haaayayay. :P next equations and problem na ) hahahha

update: dahil sa madami explanation medyo naguluhan ako pero i still stood by my answer na 2.

48/2(9+3)
48/2(12)
dito na nagkakagulo )

pero sakin dahil may parenthesis at hindi x ang ginamit
you distribute 2 to 12

kaya

48/24

=

2!

it makes no difference kung x or parenthesis ang ginamit, both have same meaning which is times, ganun din sa divide, ÷ and / pareho lang yun. tama ang 288 na sagot. ganito dapat ang interpretation jan, 48÷2x(9+3), then apply the PEMDAS.

sagot ko din una 2 pero kinontra ako ng mga pamangkin ko, napagisip-isip ko na tama nga sila at ito yung explanation nila.

[c_cube]

bumoto na ako

288 una kong sagot kaya yun binoto ko hahaha!!!

it makes no difference kung x or parenthesis ang ginamit, both have same meaning which is times, ganun din sa divide, ÷ and / pareho lang yun. tama ang 288 na sagot. ganito dapat ang interpretation jan, 48÷2x(9+3), then apply the PEMDAS.

sagot ko din una 2 pero kinontra ako ng mga pamangkin ko, napagisip-isip ko na tama nga sila at ito yung explanation nila.

but thing is when interpreted as like this 48÷2x(9+3),
then we can say
48÷2x(9+3) = 48÷2x1(9+3)

but the expression is 48÷2 (9+3) <> 48÷2x1(9+3)

[ghost recon]

but the mdas rule states that multiplication and division has equal precedence

huh?

pati ako nalilito na hahaha

kung walang rule, pwede yan sinasabi mo in solving equation that parenthesis matters. kung walang computation sa loob ng parenthesis then it would be understood as plain multiplication.

"ganito dapat ang interpretation jan, 48÷2x(9+3), then apply the PEMDAS."

if you apply your PMDAS, the answer is 2

[rene_tagle]

ang nagpapagulo lang naman dito sa equation na to e kung considered as one expression ba yung 2(9+3) o hindi sya one expression. kung may makakapag-provide ng rules/policy sa mathematics na considered na one expression sya then tama ang sagot na 2, kung walang policy na ganun then the answer should be 288.

no sir, the answer should be 288, simplify first numbers inside parenthesis then solve it from left to right, 48÷2=24 then 24x12=288.
