I don't think you understand that I have just been notified after ~15 years of doing things easily in a certain way, that my way is wrong. 24 / 4 * .25 != 24 / 4 / 4 makes complete sense to me. It doesn't to you because you weren't taught that way.

Holy hell, Vrael.

What the hell... BEDMAS? How about the normal PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. In that order.

So depending on the algorithm the calculator is using you will get 48/24 or 24*12. The math problem is poorly written. You're supposed to use parentheses to denote the order of operations. A well written problem would be more like 42/(2(9+3)).

The math problem is poorly written...

Admins, u should've kept this thread closed...

btw.. the difference is pretty much whether you interpret the question as...

(48/2)*(9+3)
or 48/(2*(9+3))

BEWARE!

Except that mathematical convention doesn't leave it up to interpretation. The answer is 288.
