Yeah it is
90% fail to answer this question.
-
@jamjam yeah i tried that too it gave me both answers, but i used calculator and it gave me 9. I guess it uses modern way
-
@ragnar-lothbrok guess im old school lmao
-
@jamjam damn u are XD
-
@alwaysstranger yah i just used that trick as a challenge XD
-
-
@mario-fan mmhh how
-
@ragnar-lothbrok first the brackets so
1+2=3
6/2=3
3+3=6 -
@mario-fan oooh u used BODMAS
-
@ragnar-lothbrok ofc. thats how you solve it. unless there are other methods required to be used. but thats the usual one.
-
@mario-fan it's 3×3 not 3+3
-
@mario-fan any empty space between 2 values means "multiplied by"
-
@alwaysstranger i could have said 33 because there is no "multiplied by" xD
-
@mario-fan (brackets) in mathematics means multiplication.
-
@nastasio 1 and 9 are both possible. 9 is the solution with the modern method, 1 is the solution with the older one
-
@katie_15 we follow PEMDAS :)
(solve whats in the parenthesis, then exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) -
@khai Exactly!
-
@sologeek so my initial thought was right i guess :p
-
i think 1 is the correct answer and 9 is not correct.
because 6÷2(1+2)= 6÷(2+4) or 6÷2(3)= 6÷(6)= 1
And 6÷2(1+2)= 6÷2(3)= 6*1/2(3)= 6/2(3)= 6/6= 1
But at 6÷2(1+2)= 6÷2(3) i don't think one can make 6/2 because you have to finish the product first like this you could say 6÷[2(3)] thats why i think you have to calculate 2(3) first. So its 6÷2(3)= 6÷[2(3)]= 6÷(6)= 1Further, from a
logical perspective
, 6 divided by something which is bigger than 1, in this case 2(1+2), can not be 9 ! the only way 9 can be the answer, is 6÷0,75=9,
but we all know that 2(1+2)≠ 0,75 but 2(1+2)=6 ! so we have to calculate 6÷6=1 and thus 9 can not be the correct answer. -
@jamjam i posted a new answer, in which i made sure that 9 can not be the correct :)
-
@nastasio looks right to me. The answer has to be 1 then.
