9.

Well, that seems to be the general consensus here.

Yeah I just read the title, did the problem, got 9.

Or 1 (if you do it the way you were taught your entire life, and the way that everyone you have ever interacted with in any mathematical environment have always done it).

You seem to be missing the entire point about the differing orders of operations that we have encountered here. You are giving division precedence over multiplication, while telling me that I am wrong for giving multiplication precedence over division. It's like a retarded dog chasing his tail here (No insult intended). As MoonlitSunshine has stated numerous times, we apparently need more parameters since there are opposing orders of operations at hand.

No that's not the case. Left to Right as BD brought up still applies. What I'm trying to say the way it is written on the computer in a single line is limited than how it would be written on paper.

If you looking at it as 6/2*(1+2) equals


then you are going to run into some problem.

If you understand that when the "/" line is used, only divided the number underneath divides the number on top, in this case 6/2 means 6 divided by 2, (only 2 not the rest of the equation),
6/2 = 6÷2

The aliens got to your head. I learned that multiplication and division are equal. I Googled "order of operations", clicked every link on the first page.

To name a few. But here's the problem and how I solved it Mr. oojay. First, parentheses. You get: 3!

6/2*(3)=?

Now it's division and multiplication, so left to right.

6/2*3=?

3*3=9

I'm sorry, but I've literally never heard anyone ever say one was more important than the other. I even Googled the problem, and Google calculator was the only thing that came up. It told me the answer was 9.

:confused: “By Jove, Holmes, however did you solve that?”

I got a 94 in Algebra II bro. I can do anything.

You got mad math skills bro. :thumb:
