WOW! Do they not even teach maths in American schools..?

Uh, yes? The correct answer to that calculation is not determined, so both answers are actually right since it can be any of them :P

Actually, according to order of operations, the answer is 9.

The order of operations also says that you should calculate parentheses (which the number 2 in this case is part of through multiplication) before divisions.


But the parantheses here are synonymous with multiplying, therefore implying that they should be done after the division.

Some people say that while others consider the number 2 to be part of the parenthesis and should be calculated before dividing it outside of the bracket.

I'm just saying that the answer is not determined by science. (But I have also always thought that your way of calculating it should be the correct.)

 

Anyway, on-topic:

Guys, you are missing one point here.

Both calculators are made by Casio, so they should work with the same rules and thus, displaying the same result.

As for who is right or wrong, the formula is wrong as it doesn't state what's first. It lacks a pair of parentheses.

And I agree with THE1, back on-topic:

Maybe If I read it correctly then it would've made more sense. I read it as Rabies rape kids... not Rabbis. SMH.
