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))

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

It's not poorly written, math is pretty explicit. There are no parenthesis, so you don't put parenthesis there. Finito.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
[06:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
[06:49 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?
[06:47 pm]
Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?
[06:45 pm]
NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.
[06:41 pm]
Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
[06:38 pm]
Vrael -- I need a go-to solution and someone who understands that Carpets are more than just decorative elements in my home.
