You do parenthesese first. then you immediately do anything that supposed to be multiplied *by* the parenthesese. then you do the rest. the answer is one.

order of operations defines that division and multiplication are done from left to right, so the answer to this would be 6 divided by 2 multiplied by 3 which is 9.

this thing has served me well for many years, it is rarely wrong
Obviously not as retarded as yourself, since you've neglected the order of operation😒 Just because division is written first in an equation doesn't mean you calculate it first
@The_flying_Frenchman OMG, are you serious? When your solve the parenthesis you just throw them away and put the number you got in place of them. So you get 6/2*3. French people are retarded too, unfortunately.
@The_flying_Frenchman No, it's not how it's done. The brackets don't belong to the number left to them, they are simply opened and after that we calculate other stuff like there were no brackets in the first place. So we get 6/2*3, which is pretty obvious. OK, let's assume this expression equals to 1. Then how do we change it so that it equals to 9? There is no way to put brackets so that it starts being equal to 9. This limits our arithmetical possibilities by far, and thus it is wrong. At the same time, if this expression equals to 9, then we can just put extra commas at the end and before 2 and we'll make it be equal to 1. If the author of this expression wanted as to get 1 as answer then he could simply put these extra brackets and make it unambiguous. I hope it helps...
@The_flying_Frenchman The main point of arithmetics is making expressions simple and unambiguous. If we solve this expression the way you and most Americans solved it, then there will be no way to put brackets to make it equal to 9. Thus, your way of solving expressions is ambiguous and limitative.
Of course there no way to add brackets and make it equal to 9 because you can't just add things that aren't there. that's not how Math works. It's really not hard if you just follow the order of operations.
1 is the answer. The parenthesis operation goes first, which is 3, then do multiply by 2, which is 6. Then you divide that by the 6 at the beginning, making it 1.

1+2=3
3 times 2 Is 6
6 divided by 6 is 1.
Not sure if i used pemdas but oh well

Obviously 9.
Not 1, or 6
Don't forget your operator precedence people.

order of operations. parentheses first, then left to right. answer is 9
1. summation 2. multiplication 3. division
answer is 1
I think it's 6.
before we do (1+2) = 3
then 6 / 2 = 3
3+3=6
Why do people ask so many math question nowadays ><
It's 9. The inside of the brackets is done first, but then the order is left to right.
BIDMAS, right?
Brackets first - 6/2 (3)
Then division - 3 (3)
Then multiplication - 3 x 3 = 9.
I'm shit at maths, but I got 9.
I used BODMAS, and the B stands for brackets which always go first.
Cringing at the fact that over half got it wrong.
I got a little shocked with the results. I still think that it's 9, but holy fuck it's like half-half votes, is it really 9?
9 is correct and 1 is wrong. I really don't understand why people don't get it right. It's basic math.
It's because people forget to use left to right when the orders are the same priority.
9 because you 6 divided by 2 is 3 and then you always times by whatever is in the bracket. So 9?
The answer is 1 because 6 is the one being divided here...

Well, two ways to interpret this. Parenthesis first :)
1. 6 / 2(1+2) = 6 / (2x3) = 1
2. 6 / 2 x (1+2) = 6 / 2 x 3 = 9
It's hard to tell, but I chose the first option.
first answer is right bc implied multiplication is prior to division
@but_Why Well, that's nice. I chose the first option in the polls.
The answer is that these silly, pointless math questions need an equation..
9. The people who choose 1 are assuming implied parenthesis that aren't there.
The answer is 9. Multiplying and division have the same priority, so we divide 6 by 2 and the multiply 3 by 3.
This is the one and the only one right solution for this problem. I am shocked at how retarded Western people are.
Obviously not as retarded as yourself, since you've neglected the order of operation😒 Just because division is written first in an equation doesn't mean you calculate it first
PEMDAS
parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction.
Go back to 3rd grade before you embarrass yourself further.

Look at how it's written
2(1+2) is a term and 6 is divided by that term what does 2(1*2) equal? 6
So the initial 6 is divided by the equivalent to the second term wich is also 6, leaving you with 1. I'm sorry sir but you're simply mistaken.
And I'm from Kentucky by the way lol, French is just my last name oddly enough.

Um what? Not sure exactly what you said there but I have a feeling you're making this way harder than it is.

@The_flying_Frenchman You didn't get my thought...
it's 1
you do the numbers in parentheses first. then multiply it by 2 and finally you divide that number by 6.

1 is the answer. The parenthesis operation goes first, which is 3, then do multiply by 2, which is 6. Then you divide that by the 6 at the beginning, making it 1.
