6/2(1+2) = ?

Du bist ein shmutziges kuh, das frisst shmutziges kälber immer. Du bist eine kannibale

 

6/2X(1+2)=9 that is 2 seperate equations

6/2(1+2)=6 which is 6 divided by 2(1+2) which = 1

Edit: opps haha

 

correct

so the answer to the one in the OP is 9 because he did not put parentheses around the 2(1+2).

 

Yeah. Post 229.

Problem is people look at the equation linearly...

6/2(1+2)

The problem is how it's laid out on a single line of the screen

On paper, it's...

6 * (1+2) = 6 * 3 = 18 = 9
2-----1-----2---1---2

Parentheses then multiplication, and finally division of the fraction.

 

this isnt right, for the (1+2) to be on top of a 1 the equation need to be what i said before 6/2X(1+2) or it needs to be (1+2)6/2 then you get:
6 * (1+2) = 6 * 3 = 18 = 9
2-----1-----2---1---2


but when its 6/2(1+2) thats:


6
2(1+2)

 

1 FTW
PEMDAS

 

lolz

 

Those who chose 9, really should consider taking beginning algebra in college lol

 

9

 

if this is true then we definitely just wasted 3 1/2 hours of our lives haha

 

OP fails.....majorly.....

 

I can confirm




as the orig problem.

in math, first thing you have to do is clear the parenthesis.

6÷2(1+2) add to simply within ()
6÷2(3) <- note there is still a parenthesis, you have to distribute the 2, this is the ONLY WAY to clear the parenthesis.
6÷6
=1

 

Ich vermutete, an der Mathematik. Ich bin dumm amerikanischen Google verwenden.

 

Yes, so....:


6÷2(2+1) = 1
6/2(2+1) = 9



Case closed?

 

CLOSED

 

..........and the 50 yr old who hasn't seen a school of any sort in 25 yrs glances at this for 5 seconds and votes 9............Good to know that all the school taxes I've been paying are being wasted just as effectively as my sales, property and income taxes are.

 

the minority wins. i love it.

Bring it!

...and it is 2 pie, not 2 en

 

wrong!

pemdas and order of operations. re-read you book!
