it depends on how you write it
48 ÷ 2 (9+3)
or
48 ________ 2 (9+3)

Good point @ ano, if you write it the second way it's 48 ÷ (2(9+3)) though which is different
@Base
Common mistake - PEMDAS isn't split up P/E/M/D/A/S. It's split up P/E/MD/AS. Multiplication and Division come before Addition and Subtraction, but Multiplication doesn't always come before Division and the same goes for Addition and Subtraction. |

| Seriously though, I made that same mistake for maybe 5 years either because of my 5th grade teacher or how I interpreted it, and it blew my mind |
