Following your link, when you type the equation in their “Enter Problem” box 48/2(9+3) gave 288, with the solution being 48 over 2 first (24) then multiplied by 9+3 (12). So, it appears my answer of 2 before, is incorrect and should be 288. That’s using your quoted site.

But, going back to the original equation as 48÷2(9+3) and it gives the answer of 2. So your sight treats the ÷ and the / differently. So, my take-away is my first guess was 2 and was right, based on the ÷. Using the / is a wrong assumption and gives 288.
