The dumbing down of America, where every one knows what Snookie ate for dinner and what American Idol contestant got the most votes but don't even know basic math. Pathetic. |

Thank god someone finally got this right. You people were starting to scare me. |

Ha, yeah, but I'm a math teacher and I got it wrong the first time, so what's that do for your confidence? |

Multiplication and division are interchangeable in PEMDAS. It becomes 48/2*12 after the parenthesis. Then it just goes left to right. 24*12. |
| jeez |
| ||
Yes, I'm afraid it is. You fail. |
| jeez |
| ||
But you admitted it and corrected it without ego. That's the kind of teacher we all need. Nobody is perfect. |

Think of it like this: 48*(1/2)(12) NOT SO HARD. 24(12)=288 |
