Nah, do the math inside the brackets first, then multiply the result by the result of the remaining sum!!

Damn, I remembered some of the crap they taught me!!!

well...aysee has it!
its 1 :)

and heres why just to recap :p :because the 1+2 is part of the bottom line multiplied by the 2 using properties of brackets (poshly known as the distributive law. therefore 6/6 =1

that answer is from my old A level maths teacher, (with many degrees in maths) lol

effectively you cant write it properly on a computer so it fools some people into thinking 9. especially when people try BODMAS (or other GCSE type tactics)

Thats BS...

The question is; 6÷2(1+2)

Working on a single line method, which you would unless otherwise stated, it's 9.

Toolbag math nerds using semantics...

The CORRECT way to write the sum is like Aysee said; 6/(2(1+2))

Therefore the answer to the original questions IS 9, and ANY math program (matlab etc) will tell you the same.

It's nice to see a simple math equation turning into an all out brawl. (going to sit back and watch the chairs fly) :popcorn:

I don't use linear progression laws... I use common sense... :D

edit: What I mean to say by that, is that sometimes people just get caught up in rules and miss the product entirely....
