    Turned out it wasn't lemonade and also it was one of those links that once you click it immediately diverts you elsewhere.

    Yes you do the brackets first, and then division and multiplication occur at the same point of the problem but whichever comes first when reading the question. therefore 48/2 occurs before you multiply 24 by 12. 288 is the answer.

    48/24 = 2

    The only way this could be 2. Is if the equation was written:

    48 ÷ (2(9+3))

    the fact that the 2 is directly next to the parenthesis means that 2 needs to be multiplied by whats inside the ()

    (48/2) (9+3) is much different than 48/2(9+3)

    How did you get this answer? You must show your work. Are you cheating?

    How the fuck can a math problem have two completely different "legitimate" answers?

    also for what it's worth, yea it's definitely PEMDAS that I learned, not any other order.

    Tell you all what: I'll ask my dad at dinner tonight (he's got a PhD in math), endure a 47-minute long-winded explanation of an answer, record the whole thing, and post it as a podcast tomorrow. Then Ants can kill this meme once and for all.

    I saw it was Chris Hansen with some teenage looking guy over a glass of lemonade, that's lulz-caliber. But true, diverted away after 3 seconds.
