As a math major I can assure everyone that is in fact, 1.
6/2(1+2)
6/2(3) Parenthesis
6/6 Multiplication
1
PEMDAS Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
G8 b8 though. Got me a little annoyed.

Edited by AMM: 3/1/2016 3:35:48 PM[quote]As a math major [/quote] Apparently not The answer is 9
-
That's wrong. Since the 2 in the equation, 6/2(1+2), is not in parenthesis with (1+2) you can turn the equation to 6x(1/2)(1+2) which is essentially (6(1+2))/2 which is 18/2 which is 9. So the correct answer is 9.
-
You only get 1 if the equation was written like this: 6/(2(1+2)) Honestly, no one would write an equation like the OP has it. Too many implications.
-
You're not a math major. 6÷2 (1+2) 6÷2 (3) 3 (3) 9 Multiplication and division go under the same category so you solve them left to right. It isn't correctly used in PEMDAS but it is a understood rule.
-
I am taking IB Math HL and can assure you that the answer is actually 9.
-
You're obviously not a math major, and if you are you are failing horribly.
-
Mistake in your second line. 6/2(3) = 6/2*3 = (6/2)*3 = 3*3 = 9. I thought it was 1 at first glance too.
-
If it was (6/2)(1+2) then yes it would be 9.
-
I think I see the issue here. We do not have proper division lines so I am reading 6/2(3) as (6/2)(3) while you are meaning as 6/(2(3)). I'm a computer scientist so 6/2(3) would return as 9 when written like that in code. That said, I think you mistranslated the original equation based off that same information. 6÷2(1+2) = (6÷2)(1+2), not 6÷(2(1+2)).

Grenade is correctundo

Edited by Mechetti: 2/29/2016 2:44:00 AMStill can't spell parentheses tho
-
Again, math major not English major.
-
Is it not a maths term?
-
Most mathmeticians will abbreviate or just use the symbol...
-
No, distribution
-
That makes no sense. Even if you distribute you're still gonna get the same thing which is still, 1.
-
I know, but it's what you should do.
-
You only really need to distribute when there is a variable in the parenthesis otherwise it's pointless.
-
I don't think you're a math major
-
Left to right m8
-
No m8 the (1+2) is in the denominator. If it was in the numerator then yes it would be 9. You have to clarify these things.
-
Use any scientific calculator and you'll be 9. My math professor also says its 9.
-
Because you aren't typing it in correctly. You probably didn't write it correctly. The way you wrote it makes it seem like the (1+2) is the denominator. If you put 6÷2 in parenthesis then yes it would be 9.
-
Hey! Listen! Work from left to right after parentheses have been solved.
-
Either way the three is in the denominator so you're gonna divide anyways.
