Re: 48÷2(9+3)=?????

This demonstrated the most idiotic thing I've seen in a long time. Not only did the majority get it wrong, but they defended their logic with the math reasoning of a 2 year old. Also, why is it that it was never firmly established that this is merely a matter of notation?

48÷2(9+3) = 288
48÷(2(9+3))=2

What you are essential looking at is 48/2 * (9+3)
