Does 6/2 (1+2) equal 9 or 1

For all those that think this is 1...wrong!

Parenthesis DO come first so (2+1) equals 3.
Mathematics does not tell you to multiply OUTSIDE the parenthesis first, just whats INSIDE first.
Then the rules of multiplication/division come in, but from left to right, NOT outside the parenthesis UNLESS there are additional parenthesis or brackets. Therefore since there are not, next step is,
6 / 2 x 3. That boils down to 3 x 3 = 9 left to right.

realistically the problem is:
6 / 2 (1 + 2) is really
6 / 2 x (1 + 2)...do it from left to right and you will see using the rules of Please Remember My Dear Aunt Sally (order of mathematical operation).

Basics of BEDMAS: Multiplication and Division are interchangeable. As are Addition and Subtraction.

Therefore: If we follow the word BEDMAS.

6/2(1+2)
We begin with B(Bracket). We add the 1+2 to create 6/2(3)

We move on to D(Division). We divide 6/2 to create 3(3)

We move on to M(Multiplication). We multiply 3(3) to get our final result of 9.

NOW since they are interchangeable, we will work with BEMDAS this time.
We begin with B(Bracket). We add the 1+2 to create 6/2(3)

We move on to M(Multiplication). We multiply 2(3) to create 6/6

We move on to D(Division). We divide 6/6 to get our final result of 1.

THEREFORE, due to the rule of BEDMAS and Division and Multiplication being interchangeable(as is Addition and subtraction). Both 9 and 1 are BOTH correct.

(For those who are taking college or university level math courses. stfu. It's not impressive, get over yourselves. I am taking Math 12 currently, and yet I'm the one who remembered the Basic BEDMAS rule.)

Hilarious! The answer is 9.

6÷2(1+2)

reduce inside parentheses:
6÷2(3)

now there is only division and multiplication remaining, so you go left-to-right which means division first:
