You shouldn't have told people that they were right in the thread though. Others can just copy it lol
I'll provide a fun equation for you all to do sometime
This really confused me. I was using PEMDAS and I kept getting the answer of 2 >.< I hate math.
I'm extremely bad at maths but I managed to get this.
Maybe you should post a harder question
Can somebody explain me how to get at 2? ;d
How people get two:
48÷2(9+3)
48÷2(12)
48÷24
2
Admittedly I made this mistake on my first try. I was imagining it as a fraction like this and focused too much on the way it was grouped rather than PEMDAS.
__48__
2(9+3)
So much for being in Honors Precalc huh? XD
288, From order of operations.
48÷2(9+3) = ?
First you do whats in the ( )
48÷2(9+3) = ?
48÷2(12)
Then you do Multiplication and division, Since they are both there you work Left to right.
48÷2(12)
24(12)
288
Here's one for you guys...
80 % ( 2 * ( 5 + 3 * ( 4 + 6 * ( 5 / 2 )) / 10 )) = ?
