Did you not click my spoiler?
MY ♥♥♥♥ SAID THE ANSWER IS 9.
DO NOT CHALLENGE THE TI-89.

Also, Duh is a pony so the answer 5 is less acceptable than 9 but more so than 1.

Ohai calculators.

My TI n-spire said the answer was 1, so HOP OFF.

Google says it's 9, and Google is right.

Come on it's nine.

After you figure out what's in the parenthesis, it becomes simple multiplication/division from left to right, NOT distribution. 6(6) is not distribution. Even if it is, I've never heard of distribution being part of P in PEMDAS. Ever.



<3

6÷2(1+2)=9

I kept seeing the ÷ sign as a + sign.

EDIT: BACKUP

Mathematically Speaking most people would first go ahead and add the numbers inside the brackets, then move on to multiplication/Division.
I come to the conclusion that the answer is in fact:

If you answered one you're an idiot
6 / 2 (3) = 6 / 2 * 3
Since when do you start multiplication/division from the right?

The answer is dependant on whether or not you consider operations on parentheses as higher priority than multiplicative operations. Computers will return either based on either their programming or their programming language.

Its 1, I mean, c'mon, it's order of operations, and 1 comes before 9, so yeah.

I was taught BODMAS myself, but still same thing applies. You could argue that because it's taught in Canada, the whole ♥♥♥♥ thing is wrong and the answer is in fact 1, HOWEVER:


Seemples.

In Finland we're taught that the multiplications and divisions are calculated at the same time, from left to right. Therefore, my answer is nine.

I actually have no idea which it is now

This is the only way I'm able to see it:

Isn't this more accurate?
