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.

LOLOL....that's perfect!

Ah, but read my next post. That very same sight, when replacing the / with a ÷ (as in the original equation), gives 2 as the answer. So, the / and ÷ are treated differently. Try it at that link.
