What is 6/2(2+1) - No seriously. There are 2 answers that conflict with eachother.

[Alex Hogendorp]

Tale of 2 Different Calculators. Also, My Sharp DAL calculator says it's 1 while my TI-83 Plus says it's 9.

 

[*Grunts Softly*]

9

 

[Bargain Bin Laden]

The answer is the average of the two: 1+9/2=5
The answer is 5.

9

 

[BScCollateral]

I say 9, and so does MS Excel.

Your Casio calculator is tarded and thinks 62(2+1) means 6/(2(2+1)). Those Japs need to stick to making keyboards

Brackets before division no? 1, its basically 6 / (2+1)+(2+1)

EDIT: I'm retarded
EDIT-EDIT: No fuck you, we're all retarded, multiplication/division doesn't have an explicit order, should be written with more clarity, such as (6/2)(2+1) or 6/(2(2+1))

Brackets before division no? 1, its basically 6 / (2+1)+(2+1)

Why would you buy a calculator when your phone has a calc app?

 

[Epoch]

Order of operations, brackets first, then division or multiplication based on whichever comes first:
6 / 2 (2+1)
= 6 / 2 (3)
= 3 (3)
= 9

Your calculator is retarded

 

[August Levasseur]

It's PEMDAS, not PEDMAS, multiplication comes first. It's 1

 

[Named User]

Write it as a fraction instead of using that division sign. Are we in 2nd grade?

9 is correct in current 2023 usage
1 would have been correct about 100 years ago according to the historical use of the ÷ symbol
