If the Coli don’t get this math problem right….

When I was growing up it would be 9.
Today not sure what they teach

It is 9, and PEMDAS has been written wrong this whole time.

It should be PE(M&D)(A&S) as in do those pairs of operations at the same time

Also, I hope they're teaching it the same ! This ain't some theory that's up for debate, this is simple ass operations...economies would crumble if somehow changing the way we do the 4 operations was possible

so whats the answer then

The answer is 9 as it's been explained numerous times in this thread.

Everyone who says 9 needs to be bushed and only allowed to be unbushed once they post a screenshot of their GED certificate

Depends on how in the way too many ways they want you to use the order of operations.....I have seen where the teacher wanted the two distrubuted into the parenthesis before totaling the parenthesis.......

Let me just say that if you got 9...

 

[SmarkMero]

6

the order of operations only has one way wtf you talking about?

Here's an easier way for the brehs who don't know the answer is 1. Rewrite the problem like this:

I'm guessing you are trolling.

You have to deal with the parenthesis first.

(1+2) = 3
2(3) = 6

Now the parenthesis are eliminated, you can move left to right.

6÷6 = 1

The reality is, this problem needs to be presented in a less ambiguous manner.

So 6 ÷ [2(1+2)].

It is purposefully ambiguous.

As written, it’s saying 6 ÷ 2 * (1 + 2) and the answer is 9.

The “P” in PEMDAS only refers to what’s inside of the parentheses. Also the M and D are on the same level. You don’t do multiplication before division by rule, you do whichever comes first reading left to right.

If you didn't get 1, rewrite the problem like this to visualize it better:

It’s 9… its 1 if you went to a school that used old ass text books in the 80’s
