The denominator is already simplified. It is "2." No. It's 2*12. Unless you want to add in a set of parentheses to isolate the term.
48
_____
2*12
Both the 2 and the 12 are being divided into 48.

No. It's 2*12. Unless you want to add in a set of parentheses to isolate the term.
The original equation is: 48÷2(9+3)
So, since you say 2(9+3)= 2*12, what is 48÷2*12? 288.
