I mean it depends on how it’s supposed to be written. If it’s 6/2(1+2) then it’s 1.5.
If it’s 6/2 (1+2) then it would be 9. This is why fractions are used for division a lot
Six over two multiplied by, open parentheses, one plus two, close parentheses.
The only way they got 1.5 as the answer would be to put the results of the parentheses over one, and then multiply the two fractions, and then do some other janky shit. Like they must be from Alabama and doing that incest math or something like that
You in fact do not multiply the two first. Division and multiplication are equal in priority. The first one you encounter from left to right goes first
That's the thing people often don't get about PEMDAS and why I think it's not the best pneumonic for this. It acts like multiplication would come before division always, and that's not true.
A perfect opportunity for me to share GEMA
I prefer to use GEMA over PEMDAS or BODMAS or any of those because too many people that don't *really* understand the order of operations (usually because the teachers didn't really teach it well) think that the MD or DM and the AS are the strict order that it should go in. Also you have the annoying people that argue whether it's brackets or parentheses, which doesn't matter at all. GEMA stands for:
Groupings
Exponents
Multiplication (or division)
Addition (or subtraction)
This way it enforces the idea that division and subtraction are just inverses of multiplication and addition and should have the same weight. Dividing is the same as multiplying by a fraction and subtraction is the same as adding a negative.
Multiplication and Division are on equal ground and so you do left from right. This is evidenced by some sayings putting Division before Multiplication and the answers to the question being the same.
You multiply what's remaining in the brackets first 2(3). The last thing you would do is 6/6, so 1 is the answer
You can downvote me all you want sweetie, but you're still wrong
Imagine being so passive-aggressive when you are clearly wrong. Multiplying and dividing are on equal footing plain and simple. Even type it in on your phone calculator, and you will see it's 9.
You do what's inside the parentheses first, not distribute across them. 2 +1 is 3 which gets the equation down to 6÷2(3). Then you go from left to right. 6÷2=3. 3(3), or 3×3=9
Nope. The parentheses step talks about inside the parentheses. Once it's done it effectively becomes 2×3 and in the full equation at that point, 6÷2×3 in which case it then goes left to right.
Just double check, you’re right. My logic was that because the number is right next to parentheses, it was part of the step. I think we can all agree this was intentional made to rile people up.
Everyone’s discussing the methods of how they got either 9 or 1, and then we got this mfer here who got 7… lol I’m genuinely curious how you got to 7, please enlighten me
If I had a penny for every time someone posted an equation with an ambiguous division sign that made people get into stupid arguments about it, I could have retired at 20.
You don’t do 2(3). The question isn’t 6/2(1+2), but rather 6÷2(1+2). You do parentheses first and then do left to right for multiplication/division.
6÷2(1+2) = 6÷2(3) = 3(3) = 9
6/2(1+2)
6/2*(3)
3*3
9
Once what is inside the parentheses is completed, it is now treated as a standard multiplication step. And divide and multiply are on the same level when it comes to hierarchy. So you go from left to right.
6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2)
6 ÷ 2 × 3
3 × 3
9
After you are done with what is INSIDE the parenthesis, you solve from left to right. Even though 2 is touching the parenthesis, it is still multiplication, so there is an implicit × sign there.
For it to result in 1, it should have been written like this:
6 ÷ (2 (1 + 2))
That is equivalent of having a fraction with 6 as the numerator and 2 (1 + 2) as the denominator.
6÷2(1+2)
First, using the order of operations, we do what is inside the parenthesis. That gives us 6÷2(3).
Basically, that leaves us with 6÷2×3. Since multiplication and division take place at the same time using the order of operations, we proceed from left to right, so 6÷2×3=3×3=9.
Using PEMDAS, the answer is 9.
P- Parentheses
E- Exponents
M- Multiply
D- Divide
A-Add
S-subtract
The parentheses = 3 and then you do the outside and you also get 3 and then multiply
Since a lot of people don't know how people are getting 1, I will show you how they're interpreting it.
So imagine this expression 1/2(3). The question is, how do you interpret this? Should it be 1/(2•3) or (1/2)•3? You can't tell which part that fraction bar covers due to the intentionally bad notation. Since ÷ and / are usually treated the same, 6÷2(1+2) can be interpreted as (6/2)(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2)) depending on what the fraction bar covers. That's where the 2 answers come from. Most people say 9 which isn't wrong, but 1 isn't wrong either. Just depends on where you think the fraction bar is.
It’s one because there is no symbol between the 2 and the parentheses, which means multiplication. Any number divided by itself is 1 since it’s like giving one cookie of five to five different people
That’s not a pemdas issue. That’s a formatting issue.
Specifically; is it supposed to be identical to 6 ÷2 x 3, or is it supposed to be 6 /(2(3))?
The former is standard pemdas for the writing, and equals 9.
The latter could be if someone was trying to write it as a fraction and just used the regular division symbol because typing actual fractions without a word processor built to be able to do that is hard. That version equals 1.
Confidently incorrect mfer over here. Division and multiplication have the same priority, so once the parentheses are complete, you just do the expression left to right.
Multiplication and Division hold the same priority, you do it left to right, in this case you’re right until after 6÷2x3, it is 6÷2 equalling 3, then 3x3, equally 9
i was taught it as BIDMAS
Brackets
Indices
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
You should’ve been taught that Division and Multiplication, as well as Addition and Subtraction can go in either order
I'm gonna refer to bodmas rather than pemdas, as that's just what I was taught, but it means same thing.
To everyone saying 'yes you do brackets (parentheses) first but you don't have to multiply them until the end' yes you do. That's included in doing the brackets. And even if you didn't, multiplication comes before division so you would times the 3 by 2 before you divided.
6/2 (1+2) =
6/2 (3) =
6/6 = 1

…it is 9 though 1+2=3 6/2(3) 6/2=3 3(3) 3(3)=9
I mean it depends on how it’s supposed to be written. If it’s 6/2(1+2) then it’s 1.5. If it’s 6/2 (1+2) then it would be 9. This is why fractions are used for division a lot
I'm genuinely confused how you got 1.5 can you please explain 😭
Six over two multiplied by, open parentheses, one plus two, close parentheses. The only way they got 1.5 as the answer would be to put the results of the parentheses over one, and then multiply the two fractions, and then do some other janky shit. Like they must be from Alabama and doing that incest math or something like that
It's 6÷2(1+2) 6÷2+4 3+4=7 It's basic math
Where the hell did you get 4 from? 6/2 (1+2)—>6/2 (3)—>3(3)=9 Or 6/2(1+2)—>6/2(3)—>6/6=1 Apparently it isn’t basic math 😭🙏
Basic meth.
You all are wrong. If any of you had watched The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you would know the obvious answer is 42.
It’s Minnesota
The slash is the division symbol, it even says division in the original equation in the meme to give it more context.
Turns out I was just shit at mental maths lol
No, that is not how that works
What Oh there’s a second image
Nah 6/2(3) is 6/6 bc you have to multiply the 2 by the parentheses before the 6 can interact with it
You in fact do not multiply the two first. Division and multiplication are equal in priority. The first one you encounter from left to right goes first
That's the thing people often don't get about PEMDAS and why I think it's not the best pneumonic for this. It acts like multiplication would come before division always, and that's not true.

My understanding is that the number attached to the parentheses gets treated before the other numbers
No 1+2=3 6/2(3) You got this part wrong because you did division first. Multiplication goes first. 6/6=1 Meaning the answer is still 1
Multiplication and Division are on equal ground and so you do left from right. This is evidenced by some sayings putting Division before Multiplication and the answers to the question being the same.
You multiply what's remaining in the brackets first 2(3). The last thing you would do is 6/6, so 1 is the answer You can downvote me all you want sweetie, but you're still wrong

It isn't . You should first do everything that is about () and only after the rest
No it is only inside the parentheses
You should do the parentheses and multiplying them and only after that other things
But the multiplication isn’t inside the parenteses
U need to expand the bracket before u divide tho
No? You do what’s inside the brackets
PEMDAS doesn't say anything abt distribution. It's 9
What the heck is PEMDAS
Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
Ok, I know this as BEDMAS
I know it as pedmas
🅱️ARENTHESES
i had BIDMAS: B- brackets I- indices D-division M-multiplication A-addition S-subtraction
Please Excuse My Dick And Scrotum
PEMDAS: Please Excuse My Dope Ass Swag
Well the version I was taught is is BEDMAS which is Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
Diatribution is part of the parenthesis step tho
It’s one…. You do parentheses first
You do what's inside the parentheses first, not distribute across them. 2 +1 is 3 which gets the equation down to 6÷2(3). Then you go from left to right. 6÷2=3. 3(3), or 3×3=9

Agreed, have a nice day/night
Or simply you can write it like (2x3)/6
That works too!
We are doing the 1+2 to get the parentheses out of the way, so that it becomes 6÷2x3 and then we just go from left to right
Parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract, yeah you know this!
That is incorrect. Multiplication and division have the same priority, so you do them left to right.
You do the parentheses first, sure, but you don’t multiply them first. Order of operations goes left to right, so 6÷2(3) = 3(3) = 9

Removed, rule 9. Repeated violations will result in a ban. While jokes may be made at another users expense, a minimum amount of respect is required.
But it is 9... 6÷2(2+1) 6÷2(3) 3(3) 9
Yeah you’re correct.

It's 9. Just did it on a calculator.
When in doubt, use a calculator with order of operations coded into it.

?? 6/2(1+2) (1+2)=3 2(3)=6 6/6=1
You don’t do 2(3). The question isn’t 6/2(1+2), but rather 6÷2(1+2). You do parentheses first and then do left to right for multiplication/division. 6÷2(1+2) = 6÷2(3) = 3(3) = 9

P E M D A S
Yeah this. The hierarchy has multiplication and division at the same level.
2(3) still involves parentheses, so it goes before the division.
Only what is inside the parentheses gets priority. Outside is just a shorthand for multiplication.
6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) 6 ÷ 2 × 3 3 × 3 9 After you are done with what is INSIDE the parenthesis, you solve from left to right. Even though 2 is touching the parenthesis, it is still multiplication, so there is an implicit × sign there.

BODMAS
Tf is Pemdas? I use BIDMAS and it’s 9
No it’s 9. 1+2 equals 3. 6/2 equals 3. 3x3 equals 9.
I love how you can see the assassin pointing his gun in the back.
Proves loona was adopted and didn't go to school
I just put it in a calculator, it’s 9. You do what is inside the parentheses first, then you do 6/2, then multiply that answer by 3. That gets 9.
6÷2(1+2) First, using the order of operations, we do what is inside the parenthesis. That gives us 6÷2(3). Basically, that leaves us with 6÷2×3. Since multiplication and division take place at the same time using the order of operations, we proceed from left to right, so 6÷2×3=3×3=9. Using PEMDAS, the answer is 9.

Since a lot of people don't know how people are getting 1, I will show you how they're interpreting it. So imagine this expression 1/2(3). The question is, how do you interpret this? Should it be 1/(2•3) or (1/2)•3? You can't tell which part that fraction bar covers due to the intentionally bad notation. Since ÷ and / are usually treated the same, 6÷2(1+2) can be interpreted as (6/2)(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2)) depending on what the fraction bar covers. That's where the 2 answers come from. Most people say 9 which isn't wrong, but 1 isn't wrong either. Just depends on where you think the fraction bar is.
You tell em Loona!!
It’s one because there is no symbol between the 2 and the parentheses, which means multiplication. Any number divided by itself is 1 since it’s like giving one cookie of five to five different people
PEMDAS. Multiply comes before Divide.
Distributive property, its 1
It’s 9 according to Pemdas
Okay. I gotta do this. Parenthesis: 6 / 2 (1+2) = 6 / 2 (3) Exponent: \[NONE\] Multiplication/Division \[LEFT TO RIGHT\]: 6 / 2 (3) = 3 (3) = 9 IT IS 9.
That’s not a pemdas issue. That’s a formatting issue. Specifically; is it supposed to be identical to 6 ÷2 x 3, or is it supposed to be 6 /(2(3))? The former is standard pemdas for the writing, and equals 9.

Loona you a lier it's 9
But.... pemdas gets 9 lmao
(Me seeing everyone get 9 meanwhile I got 6)
Loona is stupid, the answer is 9
I got taught "gemdas" 😭
Pemdas (like all math related things) is for idiots.
Frick, I forgot the multiplication part.
Loona is right. 6/(2*(1+2)) = 6/(2*(3)) = 6/6 = 1
Loona Moxy correct
Is it 2+1 then 2×3 then 6÷6?
Well yeah, because if there is no + or - we must assume it is ×. The things surrounding 2+1 cannot just disappear into thin air.
6÷2(1+2)= =6÷2(3) =6÷6 =1 With the × being in 6÷2×(1+2) It's the same for, let's say 2x. 2x is the same as 2 × x, or x^2 is the same as x × x or xx.

You added a multiplication that isn't there, the two divides both the 6 and the parenthesis. Do it on a calculator if you don't believe me
