carlos11 (2012-07-10 21:01:20)He most likely found it interesting because the answer varies depending on if you multiplied or divided first.
However, since mathematical equations are solved from left to right in an established order, the correct answer is 288.

carlos11 (2012-07-11 03:59:30)You read from left to right, right? (unless you're Japanese
)So the problem is solved from left to right, and thus the answer is 288.

carlos11 (2012-07-11 04:09:22)It IS supposed to be from left to right. Any calculator's answer will be 288.

carlos11 (2012-07-11 04:27:22)48÷2 (9+3)
The first step is to do what's inside the grouping symbols, which leaves you with the following:
48÷2(12)
Since there are no exponents, you multiply or divide.
You do it from left to right because that's how it's supposed to be. It's the same for adding and subtracting.

carlos11 (2012-07-11 04:45:40)In a way, we're both right.
Multiplication and division have the same precedence, but they still must be done left to right. I cannot stress that last part enough.
So how 'bout you philosophize that.

I should probably write a new story... but will I finish it?

carlos11 (2012-07-11 04:49:31)It's what right, so you should get used to it. You're only corrupting your knowledge.

spadeguy (2012-07-11 04:50:59)I also have Aspergers syndrome,and it goes like this.
From left to right:
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication/Division (whichever appears first from left to right)
Addition/Subtraction (Also whichever appears first from left to right)

carlos11 (2012-07-11 04:52:49)*Left to right.
And I strongly reommend you do the same.
