I would not have thought a math problem would have so engaged the Cellar. I'm quite pleased. We need more.

I agree with UT. Order of operation.
terms inside brackets exponents and roots multiplication and division addition and subtraction so 48÷2(9+3) = ?should be written as 48/2(12) = (12x48)/2 = 576/2 = 288 (my keyboard doesn't seem to have a division sign) Last edited by SamIam; 04-15-2011 at 01:49 PM. |

Oh looky, a new one!
You guys keep going you'll have quite a little pussy, I mean posse. You got a horse in this race, bullitt? Do you have an answer to either the math question or the semantics argument? 'Cause, I haven't seen ANYONE proven right or wrong. Just a bunch of wind a'blowin' if you ask me. I'll ask you all again: NO MATTER WHAT YOU CALL THEM DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A MATHEMATICAL EQUATION IF (THOSE THINGS] ARE CURVY OR SQUARED? Other than an answer for that, just try to look bright and say 2 or 288. kthx |

To be more precise, and to appease the dullards in the audience, how is this
48÷2(9+3) = different mathematically than this 48÷2[9+3] = Even better, how does WHAT YOU CALL THEM change the mathematical equation? |

This same type of discussion is happening all over the net.
My initial response was 2, and still is. I just need to solve 2(9+3) first. But I am more a right-brainer type gal, so there. |
