This was your original ANSWER:

"that people should use brackets to avoid ambiguous expressions."


But then you've argued that the answer is 288.


So first you argue ambiguity, then you argue 288.


Then when someone posts this:

You talk about how "that's just one journal."


So its okay for you to change your answer, flip flop,
ignore alternative explanations for the notation, all
in one post?


Meanwhile, I've been using a singular, consistent, correct
notation, and have come to same answer using my set of
rules:


2.


My rules are consistent:


The use of the division "operator" denotes a fraction
with 48 in the numerator.

Using that logic, the answer comes out to 2, regardless
of a the multiplication notation. Its the correct, robust
means of figuring out the answer.


Your answer is that "people should use brackets."

Sounds like someone is just scurred of being wrong here.
