PurpleMath says:
“When you have a bunch of operations of the same rank, you just operate from left to right.”

And SeaHawkFan says:
“Not true.”

If you claim PurpleMath is incorrect, you’ll have to cite your source. However, you should be aware that Excel, Google, C#, JavaScript, my RPN HP50g, PHP, and bc all say that the answer is 288.

As does C. I know...I know...show your work:

cat c.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  printf("The only answer is: %d\n", 48 / 2 * ( 9 + 3));

  return 0;
}

cc c.c -o one_true_way

./one_true_way
The only answer is: 288

Goodnight all, you've been a great crowd!

If the excel spead sheet was not designed properly, you would get an incorrect answer. It problem with such an excel spread sheet is the operator and not the program.
