This is a fairly instructive (and typical) order of operations exercise.
48÷2(9+3)
Parenthesis go first, so we have:
48÷2(12)
Now you do division and multiplication at the same time, going left to right:
24(12)
288
The catch is that a lot of people will want to go from this
48÷2(12)
to this
48÷24
which is incorrect.
