What?  No optional answer for, "TEH JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSS!!!!"?

And for the record, yeah.  2.

D'OH:

48 / 2(9+3)

also expressed as 48 / 2 * (9+3)

which becomes 48 / 2 * 12

=> 24 * 12

=>  288

Basically, if they expressed it as a single line versus double line, which this doesn't specify, either COULD be correct.

48 / 2 * (9+3)  versus  48
                            _____
                            2(9+3)

IOW, DUmmies don't know how to ask questions.

I'm thinking that this was deliberately written as to cause ambiguity and thus foster arguments. (not by a DUmmie though, it's too clever for them to come up with)

Nerd jokes?  Okay...

What do engineers use for birth control?  Their personalities.

A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. Upon being asked the price, the bartender responded, "For you? No charge."

Nerd pickup line: If I could be your integral, I'd be indefinite, so I can be the area under ALL your curves.

Some people say the glass is half full. Others say it is half empty.  Engineers say the glass is twice as large as it needs to be.

Your Mom is such a slut, she asked all the math majors to figure out g(f(your mom)) just so they could "f" her first.

I got 2

48/2(9+3)=2

All work inside of parenthesis is done first, then multiplication/division, then addition/subtraction.

48/2(12)=2

48/24=2
