"Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally."
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
48/2(9+3) = 48/2(12) = 48/24 = 2
I believe that was 5th grade for me, so just before middle school.
I learned the order of operations in 3rd grade. Parenthesis means you process everything inside the parenthesis. The 2 is clearly outside the parenthesis.
