6÷2(1+2)=?

[Fi]

jesus christ it is 1.i am astounished how many people actually said 9.I guess a lotta people skipped 4 th grade

Way too obvious, the best trolls are suttle.

Also it's 9. Parenthesis, then left to right. Hurr.

thats where you made a mistake yound man!
you multiplay first, then divide!

Division and multiplication are ranked equaly. As sutch i'm right.

you do this first (1+2) which is 3 leaving 6÷2*3 which in tern leaves 3 times 3 which is 9... now burn in my fire

It's maths, who cares? really

6÷2(1+2)=?
6÷2(3)=
3(3)=
=9

Took the help of Batman to solve this.

There is no answer. The calculation is shown in a way it's not clear what should be performed second.

I stopped reading this thread at page 3, so this has probably been answered plenty times by now, but here I go anyway.
There IS an answer, and the question is not ambiguous. There are priority rules for a reason.
6÷2(1+2) =
6÷2.3 =
3.3 =
9
First parenthesis, then multiplication and division with the same priority, so left to right.

I can't stay in this thread any longer. It's actually enraging me.

6/2(1+2)

Brackets first

6/2 (3)

M = D, so therfore we go left to right in order of operations:

so therefore

6/2 = 3

so therfore 3(3) = 9

i swear to god some people here never passed 6th grade maths.... its 9

Using the normal rules of math, you'll get the number 1.
Numbers standing outside () have prio over divation.
I've the highest grade in all mathclasses I've been in for the last 7 years (I'm 18) and this is atleast how we count in Sweden

I love all the people who are posting by only reading the first post and ignoring the fact that they've been proved wrong 10 pages ago
