Hi friends. This question below may seem simple and straight forward. But it's the most argued mathematical question on the internet. A lot of mathematics professors have aired their different view on what the answer is.
So grab a pen and solve it. Reply your answer.

6/2(1+2) = 3{3}

3 x 3 = 9

Lol. Simple bodmas. bracket before division.
6/2(1+2)= 6/2(3). Since division and multiplication are of the same rank we operate from left to right.
Hence, 6/2(3)= (6/2)*3=3*3=9

6÷2(1+2).
Hehehe, I don't really know why I don't like maths.
Solution 1.


6÷2(1+2)
=6÷2(3)
=6÷6
=1.. cheesy grin


Solution 2


6÷2(1+2)
=6÷2(3)
=3×3
=9 grin grin

I actually dunno what I'm doing.

BODMAS

6÷2(1+2)

= 6 ÷ 2(3)

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1


Or


6÷2(1+2)

= 6 ÷ (2 + 4)

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1
