Anonymous Coward User ID: 18010223 United States 08/26/2012 06:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Apparently even the OP didnt know the correct answer. If we rewrite the problem in a different format, I bet many including the OP might get the proper answer. Quoting: OP is a retard 18010223 Instead of writing it: 6÷2(1+2) Lets try making it more simple for people to read: 6÷2*(1+2) They are exactly the same problem and the answer to both is 9. ^^READ THIS AND LEARN PEOPLE. THE ANSWER IS 9 ALL YOU DUMB FUCKING INBREDS AND THIRD WORLD COUNTRY RETARDS. |

Oftentimes, the meaning of a complex expression changes depending upon the order in which it is calculated. The order of operations is: Parentheses Exponents (and Roots) Multiplication & Division Addition & Subtraction This means that expressions within parentheses are evaluated first, then exponents (including roots, i.e. radicals), then multiplication and division (at the same level), and finally addition and subtraction (at the same level). If there are multiple operations at the same level on the order of operations, move from left to right.Whichever mnemonic you use, be aware that multiplication does not always come before division 1) 1+2=3 2) 6:2=3 3) 3x3=9 6 ÷ 2 (1 +2) = 9 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29937386 United States 12/15/2012 02:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What people forget is PEMDAS needs to be applied Left to right. Rules 1. Calculations must be done from left to right. 2. Calculations in brackets (parenthesis) are done first. When you have more than one set of brackets, do the inner brackets first. 3. Exponents (or radicals) must be done next. 4. Multiply and divide in the order the operations occur. 5. Add and subtract in the order the operations occur. So 6÷2(1+2) = ? First in order is (1+2) which equals 3 so now you have 6÷2*3=? Now remember it is done from left to right so even though in PEMDAS multiplications comes first... in the problem at had starting at the 6 and working left to right the division comes first so then you divide 6÷2=3 So now you have 3*3 which equals 9. So 9 is the correct answer and if you come up with 1 as an answer you need to remember it is left to right It IS a trick question because the arithmetic layout is ambiguous. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13680466÷[2(1+2)] = 1 (6÷2)(1+2) = 9 It's not a difficult problem, it's just laid out wrong. The question is deliberately ambiguous and that people get different answers is of no surprise. You are retarded, its not a trick, its the rules of math, short notation maybe, but certainly fair game for second or third grade. |

If you were to be abducted by aliens start writing down Mathematics using any means possible, that would show that intelligence and then you could actually convey a message and start building a common language.

baba109 User ID: 29854902 United States 12/15/2012 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Isn't 6÷2(1+2) the same as saying 6 is divided by everything behind the division symbol such as: 6/2(1+3) 6 ___ = 2(1+3) 6 ___ 2(3) or 2*3 6 _ = 1 6 If you are getting the answer 9, it seems that you are forgetting to simplify. For example: 6÷2*3 is not 3*3, it's 3÷3 or 3/3. When you look at it as a fraction, it should become easier. 6÷2(1+2)same as 6/2(1+2) 6÷2*3 same as 6/2*3 6÷6 same as 6/6. Note: You don't divide 6 by 2 first. Multiply 2 and 3 first then divide. Order of operation still apply. If you are getting 12 or -4, I don't know what the fuck you are doing. |
