I got 288.

48/2(9+3)

Do the parenthesis first.

9+3=12

48/2(12)

48/2=24

24(12)=288

2?

I know i'm terrible at math, but can some one explain the logic behind 2 being the answer? Is it some kind of math I didn't learn to do in school or something lol. What am I missing here.

They are dividing 24/12 instead of multiplying 24x12

The answer is 2. The problem looks like it has more than one answer because are treating it as a calculation in a string form instead of as a fraction. So people are calculating it thus:

48/2 = 24
24 x (9+3) = 24 x 12 = 288.

This is incorrect. This problem is not in fact an equation, it is a fraction. It should be treated like this:
48
--------
2(9+3)

or

48
----------
2 x 12

or

48
----
24

or

2
--
1

which of course is just 2.

This is a troll question.

I would know since I made this same thread a year or two ago.

That bring said, my answer is whatever kadyo's answer is.
