hindi yata tama na 48 / 2(12) ay gawin mong from left to right..
dapat multiply muna 2x12 tapos idivide sa 48..
In PEMDAS (or BODMAS or PIMDAS or BEDMAS, they're all the same), Multiplication has the same priority (or precedence) with Division. Whichever operation (of multiplication and division) appears first from the left must be performed before those on the right.

I hope this clears how everyone should understand the PEMDAS/BODMAS/PIMDAS/BEDMAS rule.
