Les calculatrices non scientifiques ne marcheront pas parce qu'elles calculent au fur et à mesure. On peut aller dans le vraiment basic pour que tous les décrocheurs de MR comprennent.

1 + 2 * 2

On sait que le * a priorité...donc c'est comme (2*2) + 1 = 5

Prenez la calculatrice windows et mettez là en mode standard

1+2*2 = 6

En mode scientifique

1+2*2 = 5

Can we do 100 pages on this?

come on.

This is absolutely hilarious.

My 6th grade son came home with this math problem and I posted it on my facebook page. 5 friends posted it on their pages and now it is around the world. My original post was 9pm central time on 4-6-2011. For what it's worth I said 2 and the 2 engineers I work with agree.

Bedmas.

B stands for "brackets first, as in, whatever is inside the brackets first".

that settles the 9+3 issue.

48÷2(12)

2(12) or 2X12 are the same thing. and multiplication doesn't come before division. it's whatever comes first.

Therefore,

48÷2(12) is the same as 48÷2X12

which is 288
 
doesnt fuckin matter what programs, internet, calculator says. That is why when you program you make sure you put () and brackets everywhere as to not confuse the program and falsify results.

Whatever electronic you are using will give different results depending on how it was programmed.



Mathematically speaking, on paper, its very freakin simple.

48÷2(9+3) is the same as 48÷(2x9+2x3).

Do the math from there.



Why in gods name would anyone think 48÷2(9+3) is the same as (48÷2)(9+3) is beyond me.

No it's not

go back to school buddy. you're adding a bracket that wasn't in the equation. For the answer to be 2 the question should be:


48÷(2(9+3))

you're right, but the thing is that it's
48/2(9+3)
= 48(1/2)(9+3)
=48(9/2+3/2)
