48÷2(9+3) = ?

MDAS rule intawn na oi, elementary basic math

na misinterpret lang na ang MDAS. M ug D, equal ang priority ana nila. A ug S equal sad. kung asa mag una, maoy unahon.

sa rule ba, unahon jud ang M bisan ga una ang D?

First and foremost the equation itself is ambiguous as it is written. If only the equation is clearly presented, it will resulted to ONLY one answer.

The problem is the equation will resulted to two answers due to the implied multiplication.

48÷2(9+3)

vs

48÷2 * (9+3)

See the difference?

Programming languages, calculator, office softwares as well as google and even wolfram alpha treat implied muplication as a high precedence compared to the explicit multiplication (parentheses, brackets, braces), then the answer is 288. Yet if we will use the rule on solving equation using MDAS it will resulted to 2.

Nganong ang calculator may pasanginlan ninyo nga igo raman na nag agad sa inyong tuslokon? Ang nag-gamit sa calcu maoy sayop, dili ang calcu.

hahaha...

hala i google nah... ^_^... 288 jud ang answer... hihihi...

Tungod na sa implied multiplication bro. Pero i try ni nga clear equation 48÷(2(9+3)), the answer is 2.

[darkraven]

the trick here is the multiplication symbol is not placed... that trick us nga unhahon ang 2(9+3) to evaluate...

but computers can see beyond these tricks ^_^... and guess what, it is us, people, who programmed these computers ^_^...

2 jud ang answer ana bro kay you explicitly enclose 2(9+3) with a parenthesis, in which unahon jud siya pag evaluate...

48÷2(9+3) = ?

mao ni ang equation nga gibutang sa TS... so mao na confused pud mi... yeah I know it is simple if the equation is =48/(2*(9+3)) <------- is like that...

it's for the excel to get 2

simple ra kaau ang question nya butangan pajud ug duha kaanswer.
sakto si khuan, malahi jud kung lahi pagpresent
but in this case 2 jud ang answer base sa rules,
why do people have to depend on computer if there have Brains themselves to guess such simple answer

[cliff_drew]

kalma lang yiennahs, hehehe

why do people have to depend on computer if there have Brains themselves to guess such simple answer

I agree on this
