Answer is 2. In America (greatest country on fucking earth

) we always multiply by whatever the answer in the parenthesis is before any other multiplication or division is done. With that said in all other instances you normally multiply or divide starting from left to right, so I could see how some people could get 288. That just isn't how I've always seen it done,

I could've sworn America teaches PEMDAS. If you did learn it, you're using it wrong. If you learned a different way, disregard the following:

48/2(9+3)=?
48/2(12)=?
24(12)=288

2(9+3) reads as 2*(9+3). As PEMDAS states, Multiplication before Division or vice versa from left to right. If it was 48/(2(9+3)), it would force the multiplication so you would get 48/24=2. That's using PEMDAS of course. Don't know how other people are taught. =/

Yeah, close thread. This isn't a math forum.

nlb apparently doesn't read the rest of the thread and didn't noticed it was derailed for tits.

Edit: By the way, the answer is 2. PEMDAS isn't an American thing, it's a univeral math law for order of operations. PEMDAS tells us that we first need to get rid of the parenthesis in an equation, then the exponents, then multiply/divide (from left to right), then add/subtract (from left to right).

48/2(9+3)=?

For now, we'll ignore the 48, as it's importance in order of operations is nonexistent.

2(9+3) translates into 2 times the sum of 9 and 3.

2(12) = 24

Now, we plug that into the original equation to get:

48/24 = ?
2 = ?

It takes a LOT of self-restraint to notice the math before the curves. Or maybe he never heard of "compromised but not castrated".

stubborn_d0nkey · 04-10-2011, 01:38 PM

There are curves in maths too :P.

Reasonable explanation as to why nlb didnt see the tits, he uses a posts per page setting that cutoff the post he replied to to the tits, and when he saw the post he replied to he didnt bother to read the rest of the thread

I'm really proud of nlb. An underage kid who can ignore tits and dont act like a hormone bastard when he sees one. Or two.

good for you.

Now you're making me feel inadequate for being a compromised young male that appreciates seeing a good pair of breasts. Can't a guy be straight anymore?

@ kael: just a correction, PEMDAS is not universal. Here PEDMAS is the standard, but it shouldn't make a difference in the final result (it only makes here because the equation is faulty).

But enough of maths, let's go back to the nice asses, like this one:

That is either the blindest self-parody I ever saw or a brilliant piece of hypocritical humor. I think it's the first but I hope it's the latter.

I noticed, but didn't care.

It's 288.

Brush up on your math skills kael, you can't even solve a simple math problem. PEMDAS states to perform all operations INSIDE the Parenthesis. 2 isn't within the parenthesis. If you use it right, 48/2(9+3)=288. Not 2. Just like how 1/2(2+2) isn't 1/8. You need a calculator, brah?

Numinous · 04-10-2011, 04:22 PM

@ sd: That'd be too weird.

@ nlb: It's 2 AND 288 AND 3/256 AND 8 2/3. All these results were calculated here and are valid as answers to this silly equation. Now stop with the mathematics and join the derail!

I suggest you do the same, kid. PEMDAS is supposed to eliminate each part of the equation, meaning you get rid of the parenthesis first, meaning you multiply the 2 with the result of the parenthesis.

But, like num said, the problem is poorly structured and people will solve it different ways. My way, which eliminates the parenthesis (as you're supposed to) comes up with 2. If it wasn't poorly structured then there wouldn't be 4 damn answers.

Ugh - now don't start this again.

Domagoj · 04-10-2011, 05:34 PM

If we take into consideration that division is reciprocal multiplication and put it into the equation, we get:

48*(1/2)(9+3) = 48*(4,5 + 1,5) = 48*6 = 288
OR
= 24*(9+3) = 24*12 = 288

Problem?
