RE: What is answer of 6/2(2+1) ? 1 or 9 ?

in #maths8 years ago (edited)

multiplication (*) and division ( /) has the same priority to handle.
In these case you have calculate from left to right:
first the division 6/2 =3
then the multiplication 3 * (2+1)=3 * (3)=3 * 3=9
if you want 1 as result the formular should look like : 6/(2 * (2+1))
