Interesting maths question

6÷2(1+2)=???

6/2 = 3

3(3) = 9

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

PEMDAS wins.

 

I got 9.

PEMDAS for the win for sure. Me and a friend love it so much, we have a band project called "PWN-DAS" instead of "PEMDAS". LULZ, GET IT?! hahahaha

 

It is 9. Google doesn't lie : D http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=6%C3%B72(1%2B2)%3D

 

Your foreign math is not welcome here! hahaahahahahaa im just f*cking with you dude.

 

I was totally kidding to begin with. lol. American stuff is always the worst. Cept our FREEDOM!

Or something. I don't know. Pay no attention me. hahaha

 

I got 1 as well.. Think about it though. If you wrote it like: 2(1+2) OVER 6, you would get 1 right?

 

I got nine. BPMDASLF ftw!

 

I always liked:

a = b
a^2 = ab
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
(a+b)(a-b) = a(a-b)
a+b = a
a + a = a
2a = a
2 = 1

 

No with bidmas you just follow the order. No need to complicate it by adding x.

Brackets come first so you do 1+2 which equals 3. Then 6 divided by 2 is 3. And 3 x 3 = 9.

P.S - The english didn't invent maths.

 

There we go

 

I got nine; get three from 2+1, divide 6 by 2, 3 times 3 is 9.

 

No. doing the brackets means adding up 1+2. So it's

=6/2(3)
=3(3)
=9

There is no other way to solve this problem. If you do think the solution is 1, you need to take algebra again.

Math has rules. It's called PEMDAS.

 

6÷2(1+2) = 9
it would one if it was 6÷(2(1+2))

 

There was no single person who invented mathematics. Mathematics was used, and technically invented, by many cultures around the world.

 

clearly I invented math.
