6/6 = 1As I have demonstrated here both answers can be argued for and the problem lies with what your view on “multiplication by juxtaposition” is:Whether or not you believe 6/2(3) is different than 6/2x(3)From what I’ve been able to find, there is no definitive answer or consensus on this matter (even different calculators will calculate them differently), Therefore it is up to the one writing the expression to clearly indicate what he means without any ambiguity by writing:6/2x(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2))In conclusion I would like to state that the person who wrote the expression 6/2(1+2) is an absolute dick-headed moron who does not know how to make it clear what he means and just likes pissing people off. Learn some math fool!-The Answer is 1. You always do the parentheses first then the multiplication/division so you have 6 divided by the product of 2 times 3.......
6/2(3)
Next you must do 2(3) because multiplying by just putting things next to each other (multiplication by juxtaposition), rather than using the "x" sign indicates that the juxtaposed values must be multiplied together before other operations.
6/6 = 1

From what I’ve been able to find, there is no definitive answer or consensus on this matter (even different calculators will calculate them differently), Therefore it is up to the one writing the expression to clearly indicate what he means without any ambiguity by writing:
6/2x(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2))
In conclusion I would like to state that the person who wrote the expression 6/2(1+2) is an absolute dick-headed moron who does not know how to make it clear what he means and just likes pissing people off. Learn some math fool!

This does NOT equal 9... This is not algebra it is simple order of operations. Making this problem 6/2 is completely incorrect and not allowed because it is a coefficient to the (2+1). So you would do 2+1=3 then take 2*3 equalling 6, then 6/6=1
I promise this is right.
It really is quite stupid of a question, because NO ONE would EVER write an expression like that, just for this reason.
at the end, it depends on the order of multiply and divideing.
since they are same, you do them in order of which comes first.
If it were 6/2 * 3 , it would be 9
if it were 3 * 6/2 , it would be 1
Thats how stupid this whole thing is. It depends solely on the order of which comes first, multiplying or dividing.
