6/2(1+2)=?

[carver]

1

 I did (2+1)=3

3*2=6

6/6=1

Nah, b.

6/2(1+2)

Parentheses first making it 6/2(3)

6 ÷ 2 x 3

When there is both division and multiplication you go from left to right

6 ÷ 2 = 3

3 x 3 = 9

6/2(1+2)

6÷ 2 x 3

When there is both division and multiplication you go from left to right

6 ÷ 2 = 3

3 x 3 = 9

Don't get why this is so hard to understand

Just because M comes before D in PEMDAS doesn't mean you do it first.

[tr1ll]

simplify first

The answer is 9 if you follow the proper order of operations

If you want the result of your example to be 1, you'll need to override the equal left-to-right precedence of multiplication and division by including an extra set of parentheses (and preferably also include the implied multiplication): 6/(2*(1+2))

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally = 9

...after graduating I use a calculator, and if it's that deep an accountant.

Same here

 

[36Hypno]

This again

The answer is 9

 

[bayyrd]

Ugh whatever...I can't deal with math...I'm going to get some cheese fries

 

[ohmygosher]

The answer is 1.

 

[keko jones]

What's funny is that if people actually fallow the PEMDAS most like they will get 1, but the answer is 9.

The reason is because people want to believe that Multiplication has priority over Division - However, both * and / hold the same value.

I argue with a "Howard U" chick about this ... SMH ...
