If you wanted 2 to be the correct answer, you would have to write the equation like this... 48/(2(9+3)), again, according to how I learned how to solve equations (which does follow PEMDAS). |
Which is the correct way to solve it ...
The reason we have order of operations (BEDMAS/PEMDAS) is to eliminate ambiguity, you can't have two correct answers to the same question. People who are following order of operations are correct.
