These "math problems" are really stupid. They rely totally on knowing the order of operations. They are always written out in a form that no one would ever use IRL.

Will Hunting is the smartest human on the planet and it's obvious that he's about to write his first 8 just as this picture was taken.

What am I missing? Seems like a fairly simple math problem to me and the even give the answer. How is this bizarre and how does it "break the internet"?

The answer is 288

Write the equation like this to make it simpler


48 divided by 2 x (9+3)

so it then becomes 48 divided by 2 x 12

you then go from left to right. People are incorrectly multiplying 2(12) first, which is incorrect. The 2 is outside the parenthesis so it is simply 2 x 12

so 48 divided by 2 is 24

24X12 = 288

48/2(9+3)
48 / ((2x9)+(2x3))
48 / (18+6)
48 / 24
=2

It's 288 and it isn't debatable.

These things are so stupid. Replace the divided by symbol with fractional notation and most of this confusion goes away. It's a test in PEMDAS, and nothing else.
