no they don't, / is the same as divide symbol. so for mutiply and divide, you go left to right.
6/2 * (1+2)
could be written as:
a * b
where:
a = 6/2
b = (1+2)
the bizarre bit is that some people would rather write it as a/b for some reason. it is clearly multiplication, not division.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32614604 I bolded your equation above. It is = 9. 6 ÷ 2n = 3/n 6 ÷ 2 * n = 3n If you don't understand this, say so. Don't say it isn't, because your word doesn't change the laws of math. Yea I don't understand "6 ÷ 2 * n = 3n" The only way I figure that to equal 3n is if it is this (6 ÷ 2) * n = 3n
