Question 696854
6/2(1+2)


6/2(3) ... First you add the terms in the parenthesis


3(3) ... Then you divide 6 by 2 to get 3


9 ... Finally, you multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.


So you start with the P in PEMDAS (for parenthesis), then you move to the D in PEMDAS because that division is to the left of the multiplication. Multiplication and division are on the same level, which means that you evaluate from left to right. Finally, you move to M in PEMDAS because that's what is left.



So the answer is 9.

Note:


IF the problem was


6/(2(1+2))


then the answer would be 1 because the extra set of parenthesis tell us to multiply first, then divide. But that's not the case here.
