It's either 2 or 288. Isn't it add, subtract, multiply, divide, in which case it is 2. It was too long since I went to school!

you do brackets first always then multiply by the result in front I think Smile

Isn't it 48 over 2(9+3)
in which case it is 48 over 24 which equals 2.

Anyone know a 10 year old who can work it out for us?
