WHAT IS 6/2(1+2)?? IS IT 1 OR 9?

6/4

acualy its 1

6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
6/6
1

6/2(1+2)
6/(2*1)+(2*2)
6/2+4
6/6

According to the web calculator, its 9.
Parentheses first, then the division from left to right (So do 6/2 first, or three) and three times three is nine.

IdiotLOL:

WHAT IS 6/2(1+2)?? IS IT 1 OR 9?

Some of the answers here are pretty crazy. It's 9.

You do brackets first therefore 1+2=3,

6/2(3)

then you divide six by two = 3

3(3)

Finally, you do distributive property and multiply three by three.

9

There you go! You have your answer!

you asked this on a calculator website

:

this is not a stupid question at all believe me it confuses a lot of people the order in which simultaneous arithmetic occurs.. AS SOME OF THE ANSWERS HERE INDICATE.. the rule to this is nicknamed BODMAS meaning Brackets Contents First then Divisions, Multiplications Additions and Subtractions.. that is the order in which the maths will occur.. so back to your question:

6/2(1+2)

WE PERFORM THE CONTENTS OF THE BRACKETS FIRST (1+2) = 3

THEN DIVISIONS OCCUR NEXT

6/2 = 3

NEXT MULTIPLICATIONS OCCUR

3*3 = 9

SO THE FINAL ANSWER IS 9.

PS: I AM ASSUMING THE NO OPERATOR RULE THAT WHEN TWO NUMBERS EXISTS SIDE BY SIDE IN AN EQUATION THE OPERATOR IS MULTIPLICATION.

Its 1:

6/2(1+2)
6 / 2 * 3
6 / 6 = 1

6/2(1+2)
6/2+4
6/6
1

when you enter
6/(2(2+1)) in any calculator than the answer will be 1.
and
6/2(2+1) in any calculator than the answer will be 9.
It is not the stupid question by any way at all.

PEMDAS Parentheses, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract
6/2(1+2) First Parentheses = 6/2(3)
6/2(3) No exponents so multiply = 6/6
6/6 Divide =1
1 is the answer

isnt it PE M/D A/S

6/2(1+2)....

As written, it is ambiguous due to the improper use of parentheses. It could be interpreted as either (6/2)*(1+2) = 9 or 6/[2*(1+2)] = 1. As written, a calculator is likely to interpret it as (6/2)*(1+2), since the lack of parentheses generally indicates only the immediate following term is assumed to be in the denominator. This isn't a PEMDAS issue (i.e., order of operations) issue so much as a poor notation issue.

first you have to make division, just after that multiplication. that why it is 9

You should try and use PEMDAS ( parenthesis , exponents, multiplication , division , addition , and subtraction!
