|
Apr 10th 2011 | 43
|
| the 48 and the 2 are not in the parenthesis though |

| if you gon multple how do you NOT add parenthesis? |

Apr 10th 2011 | 68

|
| C'mon man. U can't even get passed the 5th grade without knowing |
|
Apr 10th 2011 | 92

| So to the people who think 48 / 2 * 12 = 2, |

| it...does... |

Apr 10th 2011 | 90
|
| RE: apples and oranges. |
|
Apr 10th 2011 | 94

| no because the parenthesis changes the order of operations... |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 103

| *sigh* okay, how about 5 - 3 + (1+1)? |
|
Apr 10th 2011 | 99
|
| excpet that the way the original problem is written.. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 107
|
| I don't know what makes you think the 2 is inside the parentheses. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 114
|
| i didn't say that... |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 123

| No. You are *interpreting* the whole denominator as 2(9+3). |

|
Apr 11th 2011 | 190

Apr 11th 2011 | 198

Apr 11th 2011 | 258

|
Apr 11th 2011 | 263
|
| Temper, temper. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 266
|
| The parentheses are there to force you to add the 9 to the 3. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 274
|
| LOL. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 276
|
| That makes me right. |

Apr 11th 2011 | 281
|
| LOL. It also makes you a flip-flopping liar that got exposed |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 420
|
| The problem is that most people don't see where the debate is... |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 228
|
| LOL. Translation: O_E is correct, but let's be mad at him anyway. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 232
|
| No... You're wrong and here's where you FIRST explained yourself(link) |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 235
|
| Nah. You just admitted that I was correct. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 |
|
| lol. dude...that is not the same |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 242
|
| It's very much the same. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 253
|
| I guess cats are reading it as 48 / (2 * 12), which would yield 2 |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 365

| look at my response I explained your confusion below.. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 159
|
| It's 2. Why is this an argument? |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 153
|
| It's an argument because there are two existing interpretations |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 161
|
| The answer is 2. You need to just admit it and k.i.m. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 169
|
| Oh, great. Just the guy we need. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 176
|
| You're wrong and its funny to see you fight it. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 178
|
| I think it's crazy that people don't see the debate |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 171
|
| There is no debate. You are all just wrong and won't admit it. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 173
|
| Is 2(9+3) the same thing as 2*(9+3)? |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 175
|
| Brackets have nothing to do with it. You guys are just wrong. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 177

Apr 11th 2011 | 183

|
Apr 11th 2011 | 184
|
| Lmao... He doesn't even see the problem... omg |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 186
|
| Actually, no. It doesn't matter. The answer is 2 either way. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 187

| You're wrong in your work |

Apr 11th 2011 | 195

| No, you can't intelligently debate it. That's why. |

|
Apr 11th 2011 | 203

Apr 12th 2011 | 860
|
| It's all in the methodology used... |

Apr 11th 2011 | 185
|
| No, there's no debate. You guys are wrong. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 188
|
| I'm certain you did the work wrong and got 2... |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 191
|
| No, I did the work correctly and got 2. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 192
|
| Based on your work and methodology you're wrong n/m |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 197

Apr 11th 2011 | 250
|
| Fool, you haven't proven your argument once LOL |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 256
|
| No, you just don' t understand basic mathematics. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 262
|
| So you no longer believe that 2(9+3)=2*(9+3)? |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 268
|
| Nice way to dodge my argument |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 272
|
| I've seen the two arguments. What's your degree in? |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 249
|
| I have "math-related" degrees, but your logic is asinine. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 255
|
| What was that major again? |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 259
|
| You remember that it was Richard Feynman who first figured out |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 260
|
| Yep. And Feynman made a career making fun of physicists. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 264
|
| He was also very good at knowing when he was right, |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 271
|
| Weird. You don't even have Richard Feynman down correctly. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 275

| Oh, so now you know QED better than I do, too. |

Apr 11th 2011 | 302
|
| Hmm. Yeah, you're definitely mad. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 303
|
| Again, you haven't even attempted to argue why the number is 2. |
|
Apr 11th 2011 | 305
|
| LOL. You actually programmed this in Matlab. LOL. LOL. LOL. |

Apr 11th 2011 | 310

Apr 11th 2011 | 361

| no u dont factor it because there is no variable. |
