Are people that stupid?

[[MPGH]Doc]

It astonishes me how many people on Facebook don't even know grade 3 mathematics. The following picture was shared, and the overwhelming majority got it wrong.



Let's see how many of you edutards get this right.

Hint: PEMDAS

Edit: if you edit we know you got it wrong.

Well i know this rule learned it in 5th grade (DMAS)

Perhaps more people would get it right if you presented the problem correctly.

PEMDAS? dafaq? We use BODMAS or BIDMAS where I am...

Anyway, it depends how you approach it. Using PEMDAS/BODMAS whatever it'd be:
48 / 2(9 + 3)
= 48 / 2 x 12
= 48 / 24
= 2

If you did it from left-to-right, using standard order of operations it'd be:
48 / 2 x (9 + 3)
= 48 / 2 x 12
= 24 x 12
= 288

I think 36

EDIT: Wait, it's 288

EDIT 2: Never mind it's 2 :P

[Janitor]

288 .

I'm getting it to either 2 or 288.
Considering your hint, PEMDAS, the answer you're looking for, must be 2.

48/2 (9+3)
= 48/2 x 12
= 48/24
= 2

[Zulg]

2 / 288 /msgtoshort

2 and 288, depends on how you're taught.

PEMDAS and BODMAS are the same. PEMDAS, instead of Brackets, uses Parentheses.


OT: I thought you said 3U maths the first time I read it.
I still can't believe people aren't getting 2.

Either way the answer is 288
because D is before the M
DIVISION before MULTIPLICATION
