In 7th grade my math teacher said you do multiplication before division in equations.
I said," I thought it didnt matter."
he said I was taught wrong, but I didnt follow his teaching because his teaching was wrong.

You do technically do multiplication first. Remember PEMDAS?
-
but multiplication and division are on the same playing field, same with addition and subtraction
-
They are, but he wasn't wrong. Nor were you.
-
but he would conclude the equation of 12 / 3 x 2 = 2, when the real answer is 8

Edited by Failure4Life: 12/31/2014 5:36:00 AMThat equation is formatted vaguely. If you are going to use "/" for division you need parentheses to specify whether the question is (12/3)x2 or 12/(3x2). Your statement about multiplication and division is correct but that example bothers me.

Ah yes, I could see where a situation like that would cause a disagreement. From what I recall of math (I went all the way up to Calculus but that was a few years ago) your answer to that problem is correct.
