6÷2(1+2)=?

This... seems not enough information was given by OP in order to determine the correct answer. Stop arguing.. both sides are correct:

Both sides are not correct. The math problem of "6÷2(1+2)=" is 9 as it stands. It was shown twice by two different sources:

6÷2(3)
6÷6 = 1
2(3) is P in PEDMAS

6/2(1+2) = 9

6/(2(1+2)) = 1

I would like everyone to calm down, and go about this in a civilised maner its only maths.

2(3) symbolizes multiplication, not parentheses.

2(3) is distribution, which means it would be labeled as P in PEMDAS

Omg...

3 pages for such a simple question... I mean i have a gr 10 math and this is simple to me...

First off WTF is this Crap!

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Please -- Parenthesis
Excuse -- Exponents
My ------- Multiplication
Dear ----- Division
Aunt ----- Addition
Sally ----- Subtraction

BEDMAS, is what was taught and that was 15 years ago ffs... nothing about my aunt sally... Is this the american way or something?

the answer is 9 people... holy hell!!

(6/2)(2+1) would be 9
6÷2(2+1) is 1

I think we are getting trolled.

I have been following this thread since it popped up, and many members have clearly explained this with links to back it up.

LOL you had me going OP

BTW it is simple math everyone! I remember this from grade 4 or so.

2 is next to the parenthesis it means it was factored out you have to multiply the 2 by what's in the parenthesis

You, again, continue to go against what two separate calculators are showing you:

Both calculators show 9. Do you really wanna go with your own calculation over two different computers? There is only one way to do this math. It was layed out several times in this thread, and are proven in the two links above. If you cannot accept the answer of us educated people and the two computer calculators, then there is no hope for some of you.

I, personally, enjoyed it. It was a great way to tell who never to believe again on these forums. I mean, if you can make such a lapse judgement with a simple equasion, how are you expected to piece something complex together? Especially those still arguing 1 when there have been so many 'proofs' linked.

Great OP... I think this proves more than just one point.

I knew I was right, I just didn't remember it was called distribution. At least I think I'm right

Now my brain needs a destresser.......

Apparently that isn't even a word, de-stress,
look what you've done to me brain

I blame our education system.

Essentially that is what you have here....() and () 2 sets of brackets...but they do not generally need to waste the keystroke or penswipe to reiterate the concept ...the error is in doing the second multiplication of 2 with 3 before the division of the 6...it flows from left to right...

my casio scientific maths calculator says 1

Ok folks. I had to fire up some php code and have it run to see what the answer was. Here is my result.

php

$var = 6;
$var2 = 2;
$var3 = 1;
$var4 = 2;

$answer = $var / $var2 * ( $var3 + $var4 );

echo $answer ;

The rules for these types of equations are specific. Those rules are entered into calculators such as has already been shown:

www.wolframalpha.com...

Google


I don't know if the OP is just playing around or not, but those calculators have been programmed with the only rules in math that exist. To say anything different is making up ones own rules, or proving ones education to be sub-par.

Buy a Casio scientific calculator, put in 6÷2(1+2) and the answer will be 1
