Ok, this one is genuinely confusing me, I'm not sure what the answer is here if it's 1 or 2/3 how would one do a problem like this any book recommendations?

It's 1

It's 9

IMHO it's 9 because 2(1+2) it's like 2*(1+2) and thats 2*3
So in total you have 6 / 2 * 3 and that can be moved around liek you want so you can type it like 3 * 6 / 2 = 9
Gabriel Miller
why isn't 2(1+2) treated as a single quantity so that we get only one i dont think that
6 / 2(1+2) is the same thing as 6 / 2 * 3 the 2 and parentheses are connected
Benjamin James
6/2(1+2)=9
Because of order of operations.
Firstly you solve (1+2), which equals 3.
So the new equation is 6/2x3.
From here you work left to right. 6/2=3
So, 3x3=9.
Hopefully i helped, look at a calculator if you want proof.

try it yourself if you don't believe me

[math] \displaystyle 6/2(1+2) \\ 6/2(3) \\ 6/2 \cdot 3 \\ 3 \cdot 3 \\ 9

ok but is 6/2(3) the same as 6/2*3 is my question i think that's different

Order of operations.
6/2x(1+2)
6/2x3
6/6
1
