You know the correct answer, right, user?

Maybe in America, it's 9 in the metric system.

Does shit like this prove that mathematics is a very flawed system and that scientists have no idea what the hell they're doing?

Implied multiplication does not take priority. The answer is 9.

No, it just shows PEMDAS is fucking shit

>paranthesis
>then left to right

Wooooooooow, so haaard. It's 9

That's where you're wrong, kiddo.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations#Exceptions

It has to do with notation. Nobody uses the division sign after really basic math for a reason.

Could be:
6
___
2(1+2)
Which would give one.

Or

(6/2)(1+2)
Which would give 9.

Why the hell even have it like that? Leaving it blank instead of having a plus or minus or whatever?

Multiplication and divison dont have precedence over each other, it's just left to right

>pemdas is shit
I guess you never made it past algebra 1

>in some of the academic literature, multiplication denoted by juxtaposition (also known as implied multiplication) is interpreted as having higher precedence than division
This literature is wrong.

Correct, it's not called Algebra 1 in my country and we don't make up shitty mnemonics to remember basic shit like Ameriturds do and who then forget it and remember it completely differently a few years later.

It's 9 over here too, the hell does the metric system have to do with this?

I don't know, I just assumed the answer 1 is just an American thing.

BODMAS

Or apparently remember anything at all

wouldn't it be 1+2=3, 3x2=6, 6/6=1

write it as a fraction next time

because its not a fraction we have to assume that the answer is 9

6/2 x (1/2) = 9 we have to assume this is what you meant because of how you noted it

but if the question was
6/2(1/2) (pretend the / is a horizontal fraction with everything under it) would = 1

How do measurement systems even apply here since this is math. MATH DOES NOT CHANGE FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.

No, but your reply proves you don't understand what mathematics is.

Sure it does. Both notation and conventions can differ pretty wildly between places.

It's 1. The answer is 1.

You do everything in the parentheses first, which is 1 + 2 = 3. Then, because the parentheses are still there (with a 3 inside), and parentheses dictate that the operation it is involved in takes priority, you multiply 3 by the 2 on the outside, which is 6. The remainder, which is 6/6, yields a quotient of 1.

There is no room for debate or discussion on this.

Thread over, go home.

:joy:

Nice try.

the question is ambiguous on purpose, something like this would never occur in actual math. it would be more deliberate

Who the fuck cares 99% of you will never use this

Guess that's my brainlet showing, sorry.

Regardless of how the equation is written, the Order of Operations would still apply, meaning that the answer is 9 either way.

>(6/2)(1+2)
>Which would give 9.

Do you see some fucking parentheses around the in the original equation? No? Then don't insert them there. it's fucking 1

the answer is 23 actually
6x2 = 12
12x2= 24
24 -1 = 23
The reasoning behind this is that the -/+ etc get swapped because of the ( )

6/2(1+2) = (6/2)(1+2) != 6/(2(1+2))

lt's quite simple.

>6/2(1+2) = (6/2)(1+2)

This is literally false.

Am I losing my mind or something?
BIDMAS

6/2(1+2)
Brackets
6/2*3
Incidies
Division
3*3
Multiplication
9
Addition
Subtraction

how is the answer not 9?

It is he's just a brainlet or gaskighting you

6/2(1+2)
2(1+2)=6
6/6=1

What is wrong with brainlets today?

Why did you multiply 2 by (1+2) before dividing 6 by 2?

PARENTHESIS ALWAYS FIRST NIGGERS

PEMDAS, did you skip high school?

Muiltiplication and division are interchangeable as you are effectively just multiplying by the reciprocal.

Ignore his retarded answer. Americans learn PEMDAS but don't actually understand what they're learning, so in this particular instance he gave you the correct answer for the wrong reason.
The correct reason is actually "muh convention". When working with rational functions, it's nicer to interpret stuff like ax/by as (ax)/(by) instead of (ax/b)y. The opposite interpretation is also sometimes useful, though in my opinion - and, apparently, that of Casio's engineers - much less often.

Also, please don't forget to sage, robots. This thread deserves to die.
