    Lol again I love the argument.

    And for the sake of continuing it....

    Engineering major (so you know...actually applying math for a purpose) says the answer is 2!

    lol - engineers are people that have to rely on formulas and calculators b/c they don't understand the math behind it.

    let me ask you this...48÷2x12=???

    Math majors are people that are ok with copying the Engineering students HW and still get C's in Calculus I, II, III and then take Algebra based Physics because Physics for Engineers was to hard lol.

    ^ again only playing both are awesome degrees!

    The answer to your question is of course 288.

    Let me ask you this...48/[2(12)]=??

    lol - I was done with "engineering" math my soph year. After that, I was busy proving all those formulas you got to write out really small on a formula sheet for you exams.


    so you agree 48÷2x12 = 288.

    Do you agree that 48÷2(9+3)=48÷2x12 ???


    your question is irrelevant bc 48÷2(9+3) does not equal 48/[2(12)]

    Haha! (Love the back and forth)...And after sophomore year engineering students are busy learning how to improve and advance the world's technology and infrastructure. Math majors are busy learning how to apply for math teaching jobs.



    The original set up of the problem is arbitrary and thus we can come to both conclusions depending on how you view the equation.

    I view it as distributing the 2.

    For me to agree with you, the problem would have to be (48÷2)(9+3). Then the answer is clear.

    if you distribute the 2 you are ignoring the order of operations by 1) not calcing the () first and 2) not moving left to right for mult and division. you are saying that 48÷2(9+3)=48÷(2(9+3)) which is incorrect. remember that 2(9+3) is just shorthand for 2 x (9+3)



    Also, to the bold - I don't teach and never intended to. There are many more uses for a math degree than teaching. I assure you, a degree in mathematics (pure, not that "applied" math crap) is much more difficult than a degree in engineering. engineering is basically a degree in applied math. (my wifes an engineer - we have the same "discussions" every now and then! )

    md has it right. I didn't get a chance to give this to the kids because it slipped my mind that testing for benchmarks is this week and next and I'm focusing on reviewing for tests instead of actually teaching (I hate standardized testing)

    lol, you and the wife must have some good debates!

    Anyway not sure I agree about the difficulty of degrees. Chemical Engineers and Materials Engineers have to take all of the normal Math and Engineering classes along with Organic Chemistry and the bio-chems.

    Also, without taking classes like statics/dynamics, strength of materials, ect...how can you compare!??

    As for me, I am still a student. I went back for a second degree. My girlfriend is Materials Engineering and I was indeed leaning toward Civil Engineering haha. I still have time to change my mind though!

    Was only messing around about math majors and teaching! If you don't mind me asking, how did you apply your math degree?

    Re: 48÷2(9+3)=?????

    I just asked a math teacher. Based on order of operations, you must solve what's in the parenthesis first. Since the division sign comes first in the equation, divide 48 by 2 which equals 28. Than multiply by 12. It's 288.

    If you're 25 like your stats say, then obviously you have no idea what you're talking about.
