actually I can't remember if order of operations says to do multiplication and division at the same time from left to right, or if it says to do multiplication first then divide... I think it was do multiply and divide together from left to right same as with adding and subtracting... in which case the answer would be 9

6/2(1+2)=

6/2(3)=

3(3)=

=9

but if it's actually multiply first then divide then it's 1...

6/2(1+2)=

6/2(3)=

6/6=

=1

Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

6 / 2 (1+2)

6 / 2 (3)

3 (3)

9

Wrong

The way I remember is always work out the shit between ()

You need to get rid of them then divide.

So 1 is right answer I would say

the stuff in parenthesis is worked first....than multiplication and division is worked next....the 2 is outside the parenthesis so it doesn't get done with the parenthesis, its counted as multiplication
