48/2(9+3)

Yes it is. You're just dumb. The problem written with a fraction would be:

Oh I understand it just fine, you don't need to show me, I already posted a picture myself. But from all the dumbasses running in circles couldn't you tell it wasn't quite clear enough for them?

I'm pretty sure this is the result of us trying to protect our own egos. And me trying to clear this up is me trying to boost my own ego. And referencing my own intentions in a meta fashion is me trying to sound smart and also boost my ego.

[Caution]

what way do the all powerful cybernetic overlords see it as

The same loving way we're explaining it to you.

The way it's written, yes it is.

No.
The way it's written allows for easier understanding of when to use each part of the order of operations. When you rewrite it the way Fred did, then it's not the same equation because it comes out with a different answer. So the answer to the OP's question is 288.
Period.

48/2(9+3) = 288

HOWEVER

48/(2(9+3)) = 2

I was replying to a post where someone was trying to prove his point by quoting what you said. I meant the one that he was using as his argument.
Which is a bad argument.

My sister says the insides of a squid reminded her of ramen noodles. Thoughts?
