Celtics3420 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) except you're wrong xD Then I have no idea lol.PEMDAS, was i supposed to divide first or something? ahhh, ok i get it. (48/2)*(9+3) =288? Edited April 8, 2011 by Celtics3420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Someone posted this on the Yankees ESPN board last night, I think the answer was 228 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 xD Then I have no idea lol.PEMDAS, was i supposed to divide first or something?pemdas, exactly. you do the parenthesis first so it simplifies to:48/2*(12)then you go left to right, so its 24*12 which equals 288with pemdas, md and as are interchangeable, but you have to go from left to right after simplifying the P and E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 2(9+3)=24 48/24 is.......obvious. That's what I did too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 the big kicker is that it is written in a very ambiguous notation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Pemdas? We were always taught BEDMAS (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, adding, subtracting). Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Pemdas? We were always taught BEDMAS (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, adding, subtracting). Weird.Same thing, pretty much. PEMDAS is (Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, adding, subtracting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I did too we're all fails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Pemdas? We were always taught BEDMAS (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, adding, subtracting). Weird.same thing, but with both, you have to understand the rule that when going left to right, multiplication/division and addition/subtraction are interchangeable.

Dr. Feelgood Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 same thing, but with both, you have to understand the rule that when going left to right, multiplication/division and addition/subtraction are interchangeable. Actually, that makes sense. I remember learning about that in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 the problem is the ambiguity of the equation when written like this. usually you would see it as 48/2 and then see the (9+3) as separate entities. the way it is written here makes it look like it is 48/(2[9+3]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavamatic Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yeah, Pemdas is most popular i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
