48/2(9+3)
I can't believe you guys who say it's 2.
How long has it been since your last math class?
1st- There is no order between multiplication and division. They have EQUAL priority. Therefore, you need to go from left to right, so you do wichever comes first.
2nd-The parantheses only mean that whatever is inside them has Priority. This is why sometimes you see equations like these (example): 4x[5x(6+1)]+1.
So let's get to it.
1st you need to do 9+3, wich equals 12. As soon as you have done this, the parantheses disappear. If there is no symbol in front of the parantheses, by default it's a multiplication. You could've had this for example: 48/2+(9+3), so it wouldn't have been the same thing. So, what is left is:
48/2x12
Now like I said before, divisions and multiplications have the same priority. They are equals. The only way to prioritize one of them is by going left to right, so the division has priority in this case.
48/2 = 24.
So what's left is this:
24x12.
24x12=288.
