How the shit did that one guy get 7?

>>3700078
by being 8 years old.

>0

The worst part is that these people get to vote.

>Pic Related. What people like this should do

>>3700074

clearly it's 5

do they not teach bodmas in america?

>>3700100
> don't know an arbitrary symbolic convention
> hence don't know about society

looks like somebody doesn't know about implication. looks like somebody definitely shouldn't be able to vote.

also,

>>3700109
It's PEMDAS

>>3700118
maybe if you're a fat, stupid american.

For all the people who don't know order of operations:
OP's pic shows how to do it.
First addition, then multiplication.
Example: 3 + 4 * 0 = 7 * 0 = 0

>>3700117

Confirmed for not knowing the order of operations

U mad

u jelly?

>>3700123

They see me trollin', they hatin..

>>3700123
he's wrong, it's multiplication then addition, ergo the answer is 4

>>370000

>>3700117
What the fuck are you talking about? I remember learning about order of operations in the third grade. Anyone who can't get their head around it is confirmed for full retard.

I'm pretty sure they're trolling.
They HAVE to be trolling, right?
Please tell me they're trolling...
Guys?

It's BIMDAS in Australia. Exponents are referred to as indices instead.

>Anything times 0 is 0

That's why schools should teach WHY rather than HOW

Newsflash: You didn't know order-of-operations when you were 7, either. Who cares.

American spotted.

>>3700161
> implying 0*a = 0 is something to be explained

I loved the guy that said

>PS- I'm only 12

Wtf, I'd be shit scared if I had to get my math knowledge from 12 year olds. If fucking scares me that 12 year olds are on the internet. Back when I was 12 we had AOL disk things and msn.com and that was it.

>making fun of people for asking questions you know the answer to

Cynical bastard.

Can /sci/ answer this, I thought you guys were smart?

48÷2(9+3) = ?

i wish there was a like button on fb.

i used to get like 5 of those discs, every time i seen them at the store. whenever the month was over, i just changed my screen name. free interwebs bitches.

also,

>>3700228

288 bro, not difficult.

>>3700228
Following order of operations, it's 288.

However you really should have written it in the form:
(48 / 2)(9 + 3)

That makes the correct order more clear. I'm certain you didn't mean to deliberately be ambiguous in your communication, so I hope this helps you in the future.

>>3700162
so what are your indices?
don't tell me they're called exponents

4(5+4(5))

EVERYONE stop doing this!

>using acronyms for order of operations without understanding it at all

>>3700248
Well I thought Indices are the same as exponents. Don't look at me, I just call them exponents because that's what they are.

Go back to reddit or canvas, you'll fit in alot better there.

>>3700109
no, BODMAS is not taught they don't even teach that multi and div are on the same level until pre algebra
