it becomes (2)(12), or 2(12), or 2x12, and since there are no addends in the parentheses, you do not distribute it's just multiplication, that's all the parentheses is now
repeat the order of op from the top.

The 2nd part of what you posted says "Then perform the functions outside the parentheses on that quanity"

is this not the first function outside the parentheses  48÷2? from l to r
it seems like your saying that 2(12) suggest something other than multiplying in the second step

My professor said it is 288 as division happens at the same time as multiplication according to pemdas itself so the answer is 288. I was team 2 but 288 is the answer.

Serve chilled- again what you posted says 'on that quanity' which I take as the quanity that was in the parentheses. I don't know how else to explain it.

I understand what I posted. 
I would like to know why you think, "operations outside the parenthesis" don't begin at the start of the problem from l to r?

What makes you think they didn't distribute what was outside the parenthesis first then added? The example after the highlighted sentence doesn't show a coefficient at all. We can assume that coefficient had already been distributed.

Moreover, why do you dudes readily accept the addtion operation inside the parenthesis, but are hesitant to accept the multiplication outside of it?
