The correct answer is 2, and I'm from the UK.

48÷2(3+9) = 48÷2(12) = 48÷24 = 2

This answer is right becuase of BODMAS

I'm afraid i am unfamiliar as to what BODMAS stands for, care to elaborate?

Since no one has replied (however I am sure you worked it out already), I will reply.

BODMAS = PEDMAS

maiinly used in UK and Australia (i guess any commonwealth country)

brackets = parentheses

orders = exponents

the rest = same
