Oh, 6÷2(1+2). [/quote] 6 ______ 2(1+2) Does not equal 6÷2(1+2). [/quote] Yes, it does. Solidus, much? http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Division.html [/quote] Try reading your link before trying to make a piont. [/quote] Taking the ratio x/y of two numbers x and y , also written x÷y. Here, x is called the dividend, y is called the divisor, and x/y is called a quotient. The symbol "/" is called a solidus (sometimes, the "diagonal"), and the symbol "÷" is called the obelus. If left [b]unevaluated[/b], x/y [u]is called a fraction[/u], with x known as the numerator and y known as the denominator. Therefore, the way I presented the equation is valid because the obelus (÷) remains unevaluated ( [b]6÷2(1+2)[/b] ) and in turn can be understood as a solidus, which denotes it as a [b][u]fraction[/u][/b]. Your arguments are null. [/quote]

Alright, there's a lot of self-proclaimed experts around these parts. Let's see how your logic holds up against some basic mathematics.
6÷2(1+2) = ?
I'll give two hints. This is
NOT
a trick question, and there is only
1
correct answer.
All tools used for computation are fair game.
(Yes, I saw this somewhere else and decided to post it here.)
Best of luck to all you geniuses .
