Edit: Once you add the 9+3 the ()'s drop and it becomes 48/2*12. At that point you just move left to right because division and multiplication take the same order of precedence in PEMDAS.
But just take a look at this and you can see how virulent of a topic this is.
is exactly the same thing that I wrote. the multiplication sign is implied when you put the number right next to the parenthesis.
Multiplication and division have the same precedence.
The only thing that can be debated is that in some instances the "รท" symbol can be used to split the problem in half (numerator/denominator) and that is why it s rarely used past elementary arithmetic. But if you are just using it as a normal division operator it just means to divide by the immediately followed number.
I'm about 90% sure that the answer is 288, but I've been reading these threads since yesterday at work and once an a while someone says something to make me waiver a bit.

Unless they've changed the rules the answer is 2. Can you change the rules in math? If you right your own book I guess that you can. That seems to be the problem here. As far as I'm concerned the answer is 2. If some squid who wrote his own book wants to argue about it you can tell him this old fart ain't interested.

I agree. I came with 2 as well and that's good enough for me. Screw these eggheads.
But seriously go read some of those threads from the google search I posted above. It is pretty funny that a debate about what would appear to be a simple arithmetic problem is be argued as fiercely as any religious or political debate I've ever seen online.
