    Good thing Excel does all my math for me at work, because apparently I'm an idiot.

        Also, the way the OP laid out the problem was meant to trick us.

        There would have been more correct answers had it been 48÷2(9+3) or, better yet, 48 ÷ 2 x (9+3)

        At the end of the day it doesn't matter. In a real situation you would know what the numbers represent and thus how they should be handled.

            Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

            You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

              no, he spaced it out differently.



              48 ÷ 2(9+3) = X
              which makes it seem that the 2(9+3) should be handled first, since it is closely grouped together.
