Ssenkahdavic said: 48 ÷2(3+9) = 2 48 ÷2 * (3+9) = 288 Since the equation in question is written as the top example, that is the answer. |
I believe the whole deal was the order of the operations, which is left to right unless put in parentheses. If it's 48/2(3+9) then it's equals 2. "/" meaning "48" is numerator and "2(3+9)" is denominator, of course. Basically it's a test of your attention.
It's 288 in both of your cases. You failed :D
