To explain how I arrived at my final answer:

6÷2(1+2) =

Following the Order of Operations: PEMDAS (Parenthsis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First thing to solve would be what's in the parenthesis: (1+2),

then what you're left with is: 6÷2(3) = or... 6÷2x3 =

Then, since there are no Exponents in the equation, the next in order is Multiplication: 2x3 (...which equals 6)


then what you're left with is: 6÷6 =

The next thing in the Order of Operations is Division: 6÷6

which equals 1

Since the equation contains no Addition or Substraction (the last two items in the Order of Operation), the equation is already solved: 6÷2(1+2) = 1

So, the answer is 1

1. take the number infront of the parenthesis distribute it . Then add. Then divide.

Corrected 2 spelling errors: Parenthesis & Subtraction.

you're wrong... here's why

the order of operations is PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)....but the order is

Parenthesis, then

Exponents, then

Multiplication and Division, then

Addition and Subtraction

so firstly you do the parenthesis... which gives

6÷2(1+2) = 6÷2x3

then, because multiplication and division are equal....you work left to right: 6÷2x3 = 3x3 = 9

the answer is 9

clapping Well done, I overlooked (and highlighted) an important point that you made. I accept YOUR answer (...and others that said 9) as the correct one. Plus, you get extra credit for the thorough explanation of how you arrived at your answer.

I am awful at math...always have been. So when I got 9 for the answer and other people said 1, I thought I was wrong as usual.

I didn't do the problem in the right order either, so now I wonder how I got that answer? eek
