If I remember correctly from school, the answer should be 2.

I can see how you get either answer, but you have to remember PEMDAS.

 

mad funny. elementary math ftw

 

Don't hate, I'm now a little embarrassed to be part of that community

 

LOLz me too

 

it's 288>>>>>>>bedmas

 

It is 288.

Order of operations says to do parenthesis first.>>> 48/2(9+3) = 48/2 (12)

Next OOP says do all multiplications and divisions working from left to right. >>> 48/2 (12) = 24 (12)

24 (12) = 24X12 = 288

Edit: I am not reading that 84 page thread at the body building forums. Someone copy my post over there to settle this sh*t. Lol

 

Poll results suggest that the answer is no, we are not smarter than body builders.
