I was appalled at what percentage of the people on Facebook got this wrong.
Knowing every single one of them had a pc or a smart phone and didn't even bother to check on their calculator app REALLY pisses me off. Reading the silly arguments is funny.
Let's see how smart the people in a duck-hunting forum are...

Hey Betty, knock knock

More of this shit?
And I think Jim is right.

Y'all remind of this kid I tutored in college.
He was having a really hard time with fractions and decimals...
I struggled trying to get him to understand...

THEN IT HIT ME.

I asked the kid if he bought 3/4 ounce of weed for 90 bucks and had to split it 4 ways... how many grams would each guy get and how much would it cost?
All of a sudden he was effing brilliant at fractions and decimals.

Fuck order of operations. I'm right.

The answer is twelve. The reason...order of operations.
Multiply and divide first and then add and subtract last.
Try again Einstein.

Read what I posted and use the calculator app in your smart phone.
You'll believe your phone but not your old aunt betty?

Nope. It's 0.

12

yeah 12, definitely 12

Seriously. When has order of operations ever mattered? Ever? If someone is too lazy to use, or too stupid to comprehend, parentheses, then fuck em.

The same could be said for the order of operations.

Apparently not.

Honestly in the last 25 years the only time I have seen the need to know the order of operations in a math problem was in random jumbled up problems posted on the Internet to make people look stupid and help needs to feel smart

In the real world math is not presented in chaos

Exactly. It's the math world's way of trying to sound like a lawyer.

Weren't you just bitching about screwing up your math on a house jehler?

yep, I added to the wrong side of a line though, I know what order to add 11 to 3.5

Start doing some integrations and derrivations and see how quick you start using order of operations stuff.
Of course it's not every-day math like how many gallons of diesel does Jehler need to get to the jobsite but is still important to us all.

What really concerns me is that nobody seems to give a chit about math because "someone else can figure it out".
Eventually you'll be the 'someone'. Then we're all eff, eff, effed.

Try laying out a stair-stringer without math. Just guess.
Hard to believe a carpenter is also a math-hater.
You can't build stuff square and true (as easily) without geometry and math.
Design a simple truss sometime.

Write down the formula we use for calculating stairs. It's COMPLICATED and involves redistributing the remainder of a division problem back into the solution. I'll bet order of operations matters.

when did I become a math hater?
I can do stair stringers in my head
