  1. 6÷2(1+2)=1

    How!?!?!

    (1+2)=(3)
    6÷2(3) <---- you have to override the left to right equation and get rid of parenthesis first.

    6÷6=1

    Bam! This is the right answer. If you use the calculator you're gonna get it wrong because I doesn't fully follow the procedure. So, what's your answer on this equation?
     
  2. You just gave the answer AND the solution...so what exactly are we supposed to be answering?
     
  3. What's your answer of 6÷2(1+2)?
     
  4. Some ppl say its 1 others say its 9. So I'm wondering how many ppl will say its 9
     
  5. Answer is obviously 1 because we must calculate brackets first :|
     
  6. lmao it only equals 9 if the order of ops are not followed...
     
  7. I learned pemdas in class.  You do parentheses, the multiplication & division from left to right. Making the answer 9. (1+2)=3, 6/2=3, 3*3=9.
    What's this override business?
     
  8. ^ what did I tell you!?!?! I knew someone would say its 9!!!!
     
  9. wait hold up it is 9. brah you're twisting my thoughts rn
     
  10. Omg!!! And so it begins!!!
     
  11. MDAS, so I'd say 1
     
  12. No its 1
     
  13. 6÷2(1+2)
    6÷[(2×1)+(2×2)]
    6÷6
     
  14. 6÷2(1+2)=1

    PEMDAS: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction

    Parentheses - (1+2) =6÷2*3=1
    Exponents - there are none
    Multiplication= 2*3= 6
    Division = 6÷6 = 1
    Addition= none
    Subtraction= none

    Answer is 1
     
  15. Why did you distribute? It's two real numbers inside of the parenthesis so they will be added. The question is do you do 6÷2 first or 2*3 first.
     
  16. Why do you say 2×3 first? 2(3) is the same as 2×3. Therefore 6÷2(3) is 6÷2×3, which you would read left to right. So you get 6÷2=3, 3×3=9.
     
  17. well idk i see both sides bc once you add 2 +1, the parenthese serves as a multiplication sign. You would divide then multiply bc of the left to right thing
