Question

6÷2(1+2)=?

Answer 1

PEMDAS

Answer 2

I'll give you a hint to solve such questions:

Please (parenthesis)
Excuse (exponents)
My (multiplication)
Dear (division)
Aunt (addition)
Sally (subtraction)

now give it a try :) which will you compute first? ^_^

Answer 3

true, but if there is no implicit * symbol, do you expand the formula 2(1+2)? The way it is written, both the 1 and 2 should be multiplied by 2 correct?

Answer 4

In essence, wouldn't 2(3) get performed before the division, ONLY because there is no implicit multiplication symbol.

Answer 5

2(1+3) is like 2 x (1+3) ^_^ and if you ace division and muliplication, always start from the left

Answer 6

if both exist, then start computing from what is found left :)

Answer 7

2(1+2) is also like 2+4

Answer 8

is it? I don't think so

Answer 9

oh wait

Answer 10

it is LOL!

Answer 11

there's the problem. without the implicit multiplication symbol, I argue that it is 2+4 and therefore the answer is 1

Answer 12

lol you can have more than one symbol

Answer 13

here :\[6 \div 2(1+2) = 6\div 2 \times 3 = 3 \times 3 = 9\]

Answer 14

like I've said, if you face both multiplcation and division at the same time, compute from left to right ^_^

Answer 15

shouldn't 6÷2×3 actually be 6 / 2 + 4?

Answer 16

which case 6 / 6 = 1

Answer 17

why so?

Advise :) try to solve the question as simply as you can instead of complicating it ^_^

Answer 18

wait, is this question in fraction form?

Answer 19

no fraction form

Answer 20

then just compute it from the way I showed u :)

Answer 21

if I have the formula as y= 6 / x(z+x), then you would simplify to y = 6 / xz + xx. If x = 2 and z = 1, answer would be 1 would it not?

Answer 22

now that's another story, you don' follow the steps here :)

Answer 23

because we simplify
