The point that people miss about PEMDAS is that it's really
P E M/D A/S
multiplication and division happen at the same time (from left to right) as do addition and subtraction.
this means M and D are interchangeable so having MD is the same as DM
In your example the first is correct not because division always come before multiplication but because the division in the problem is first.
You're right. I forgot about that unknown known about the order of operations.Originally Posted by MJair

But yeah, you follow BEDMAS/PEDMAS
48/2(9+3)
BRACKETS/PARENTHESIS FIRST,
48/2(12)
After this, those brackets are simply a multiplication symbol, so you can rewrite as:
48/2x12
At this point you follow BEDMAS and go left to right
48/2 = 24
Then you have 24(12) or 24x12
= 288
My dude, you have it all wrong... its not PEDMAS... its PEMDAS.
Its not "Please excuse dear my aunt sally" its Please excuse MY DEAR aunt sally.
Thats why half of these dudes got it wrong
Multiplication comes first, then division. So you would multiply the 2 x 12 before you divide it by 48. which gives you 2 in the end.
Multiplication comes first in the name but not in the order. It is the same as division so you have to go left to right.
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

That's a different question than whats being asked.Originally Posted by Boys Noize
This question is burning up the internet
It's poorly written. Should be 48/2*(9+3)
