48/2 = 24
9+3 = 12
24*12 = 288
What is so controversial?

It could be both 2 and 288 depending on how it is written
48
-------- = 2
2(9+3)
48/2 x (9+3) = 288

That's crap. Division and multiplication are of equal precedence. Division in this problem goes first because it is first left to right.

The standard order of operations, or precedence, is expressed in the following chart.
terms inside brackets
exponents and roots
multiplication and division
addition and subtraction
