Nobody who actually cared in school realized that PEDMAS or BEDMAS as I learned it doesn't specifically mean to divide first.

So the answer is 9, as you'd divide the 6 by 2 before multiplying. I would know, majoring in math

Let me break this down for all the people who are saying one. Starting from left to right

6/2

6 won't divide into 2 so make it a 22

6/22 equals 0.27

Now 1+2 equals 3

3 won't divide into 0.27 so drop the 0 and make it 27

3 will go into 27 9 times so the answer is 9. END OF STORY
>>
I wasn't very clear, what I meant was the divide symbol used in the picture, the line acts like brackets, you can't divide until you've completed the lines, in the case of the picture you'd have 6/2 on the outside so would only have one way to answer question

>>714585310
very basic. only an americuck would not get this

also I have 38 Ph.Ds and I invented numbers - for my credentials please check under your dads nutsack

ok so here

division and multiplication are equal weight, they are done left to right, so for example

2 / 3 x 4 / 3 x 9 x 2 / 2 is done left to right, one does not carry more weight than the other (same for addition and subtraction)

the distributive property applies only to a TERM before a parenthesis

A term is a value that come before or after a plus or minus sign (note that all equations can be seen as starting with a 0 + so the beginning of an equation is the first value in a term)

in this equation here, the 6 / 2 is ALL ONE TERM

you must divide them before distributing

the answer, you fucking trap loving faggot pedophiles is

9

it is and always will be 9

if you dont understand why, perhaps an elementary school near you can help. Im sure youd like it too with all the jerking off you do to lolis you fucking faggot fat piece of shit

That's actually correct! But that's not the problem that OP posted. A fraction bar is a different operation than the infix division symbol because it includes grouping. The answer to OP's problem is 9.

And fun fact for everyone who isn't actually trolling and might actually care...

PEMDAS is a recent construction by textbook manufacturers. It didn't exist in the 1950s, but surely math problems like this were done by our parents, right?

Well, no. Because this math problem is stupid and the only reason it exists is to highlight the ambiguity of our infix notation.

Order of Operations was never discussed before textbook manufacturers started having us do endless, isolated problems. Usually, math is done to solve a real world "story" problem and, in those cases, the order of operations is made clear by the problem, not the notation.

Want unambiguous math? Try Pre/Postfix notations instead of infix notations.

>>714586214
Have to disagree: with the introduction of computers and programming the right grammar for a term became growingly important. You may want to ask some IT guys how much time they spent debugging, because they put brackets or divisions/multiplikations wrong. Computer have a grammatik for mathematical operations and they don't interpret the meaning of the input
>>
>print(6 / 2 * (1 + 2));
return 9 in C# because with the information at hand we have to assume the calculation to be
(6 / 2) * (1 + 2) = 3 * 3 = 9

though if I saw somebody write 2(1+2) I assume the wrote those arguments close to each other to be treated as a single link. But that's semantics, and now we're talking mathematics so let's ignore that.

Also to the Americans who learned the PEMDAS principle, Multiplication and Division happens at the same time. When it's taught right that is also clear, but it's a lousy fukken name because I see so many get it wrong because they think every letter describes order.

do you all really not understand pemdas. it is so fucking simple. MD and AS are grouped. It wholly depends on which term is on the left first.


P
E
MD (depends on what is on the left)
AS (depends on what is on the left)

it could easily be P,E,DM,SA and work just the same

The answer to op is 9. the answer to 1-2+1=0

the answer to op is not 1.
there's no real need to use the distributive property, but even so, it will still be 9 because you have to divide 6 by 2 before you can distribute
the answer to 1-2+1 is not -2 according to pemdas.

>>714586542

I don't think you disagree, really. I'm also a programmer and languages specify a very detailed Order of Operations priority for each of their operators. That is because we use this shorthand and need to know exactly how to type what we want to do.

Such a detailed order wasn't used in the math classroom because you solved a real life problem, not a formula like we create in code.

I'm not minimizing the importance of unambiguous math. I'm highlighting the ambiguity of infix notation. Programming languages that use pre/postfix are FAR less likely to have bugs like the ones you mention. But no one knows how to use them, so we're stuck with infix notation and endless brackets.

I'd ask you to explain yourself. In BEDMAS, or PEDMAS bot the M and D along with the A and S are grouped. You're supposed to do multiplication or division in the order it appears, wether it's multiplication or division, if it shows up first you do it first.
>>
>>714587229
/2 is the same as multiplying by 0.5. So if you cannot fathom the fact that / and * happens at the same time just write
>6*0.5*(1+2)=6*0.5*3=9
>>
PEMDAS. But the important fuckup is that M and D have equal weighting, so you do it left to right. A and S also have equal weight and are done left to right as well.

6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
Because you go left to right, it becomes
3(3) = 9
Whereas if you thought multiplication had a higher precedence (because M is before D in PEMDAS) it would be 6/(6) = 1, but that would be incorrect.

>>
>>714588399
Yeah, and you wouldn't be wrong
>>
>>714587917
Exactly? 6/2(1+2) is equal to 6/2*3. Since division is before multiplication here you do 6/2 first which makes the equation 3*3. That is one answer. The only way you get 1 as the answer is if you do the 2*3 part of the equation first which is only correct to do if it appears first (which would change the equation, 6/2*3 =/= 2*3/6) or is put in parentheses.
>>
>>714588601
If they don't figure out why they are wrong then there's no point. Them finding out the correct answer themselves is much more valuable than someone just telling them.
>>
>>714588834
Be more clear, division is NOT before multiplication. Division and multiplication are done in whichever order they're seen going from left to right.

>>714581895
This problem is intentionally ambiguous in its creation. Technically, the answers of 1 AND 9 are technically correct. The author of the equation should have used another set of parenthesis. Without them, the answer is up for debate. However, typically, the answer would be 9 if this were put on a test. The equation should be written thusly: (6รท2)(2+1) or 6รท(2(1+2)). By doing this, the author would define their expectation.

putting the additional parenthesis makes it a different equation, so no both answers are not correct.

It can be when the image is made poorly. Or quadratic equations.

No, the one on the left

Then tell OP to edit the picture to take away the spaces between the first numbers

No its on the one with the correct answer

Its 1 my dude
>>
Its 9 I cannot believe some anons are this fucking autistic jesus christ
>>
>>714582510
This is the correct answer. All others are trolls.
>>
>>714590656

Still a NO! poorly done picture does not matter, the numbers and the signs do. End of story.
>>
>>714590365
Math is meant to be universal, however, in this case, the author was incorrect. This happens many times in mathematics actually. The fault of this is on the author of the equation. Without correctly notating intentions, the problem is left with ambiguity. The correct answer can only be determined by the author.
>>
>>714590105
The thing is I could've said it's not algebra because algebra involves undefined variables that are represented with letters or symbols. Then that person would still need to verify the answer themselves because I could be lying to them or wrong or that person just rejects/accepts my answers blindly which isn't good either. Either way that person needs to research the answer on their own.

You are wrong AGAIN. Maths is universial, that's right. Wether there is a space too much or not.
>>
>>714590784
um why? Spacing makes no difference.
6/2(1+2) is the same as 6 / 2(1+2) . sure the second one is misleading but if you know the basic rules it doesn't matter.

It's 9
Does any one remember pemdas except me?
>>
>>714591519
Nope not a single person, none of the people who have explained it and used it in this thread remember it, you're literally the only person.
>>
>>714591308
It does matter if it's a 4chan thread. Of course people that will spend half a second looking at this thread may think it's 1. After of a second look it's obvious it's 9. The whole point of OPs image is to be misleading, not to actually test people's intelligence. The only 4chan maths threads that aren't misleading have people claiming they don't want to do OPs homework for him.
>>
>>714591021
...then why didn't you?
>>
2(1+2) has implicit parentheses around it. This would make answer 6. If it was written 6 / 2 * (1+2) answer is 9.
>>
>>714591519
yeah thats what i got was 9. then i saw your comment.
>>
>>714591721
I guarantee you if the spaces weren't there just as many people would still think the answer is 1

>>714591769
Because of the reason I explained after the first sentence? Do you even read?

Hey fucking morons, it's called multiplication by juxtaposition. The answer is 1 you brain-dead autists.
>>
>>714581895
the answer is one
>>
>>714591965
Yeah...about them verifying to see if your definition of algebra is correct. You didn't define algebra in your argument, so based on what you just said, this situation would not have occurred.
>>
>>714591772
Nothing in math is or should ever be thought of as being implicit unless it's specifically related to implicit functions. It's ignorant to think that 2(1+2) should be implied as being the same as (2(1+2))

>>
>>714592591
I'm willing to bet you got it wrong on your first try
>>
>>714592569
multiplication and division are calculated simultaneously and whichever comes first reading left to right is solved first, not all multiplication is solved before all division. so you're wrong.
>>

Fucking awesome. Love me some xkcd

>>714592717
You're right, because I haven't done basic math like this in 10 years but realized I was wrong. There are people here that still oppose the correct way to solve it even though it's being explained numerous times.

Simple af.
Do brackets first so
6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
We go left to right so
3(3)
Then there u go
=9

WTF? Guess people like that is needed too in this world. Why, I don't understand, tho.
>>
>>714593117
whatever calculator that is is garbage, 2(8) = 2*8 it shouldn't be prioritizing multiplication before division if division is to the left since the 2 is not in the parenthesis with the 8
>>
>>714593117

Not 5, or 1, or 64. The result is 17, and that's that.

are you retarded or just gay?

12 4 + 5 3 โ€“ 6, you must first compute 12 4 since order of operations requires you to begin on the left side of the expression and do multiplication or division (whichever comes first) before addition or subtraction.

>>714583386
Division before multiplication, dude... They are not grouped.

>>714595563

124 + 53 = 177
177 - 6 = 171.

get the fuck out of here

>>714595038
you are fucking retarded, multiplication and division are grouped together as well as addition and subtraction. if your teachers hadn't taught you that you need to go back to school. it's
6/2(1+2)Pemdas

that's not the question fagboy.

A common technique for remembering the order of operations is the abbreviation "PEMDAS", which is turned into the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction".

>Multiplication and Division
>and

you do them at the same time left to right, OP's a faggot

>>
>>714596534
read
>>714596163
>>
>>714584885
PEMDAS gets 0. addition and subtraction are equal, therefor whatever comes first is used in the equation. More like PE(MD)(AS)
>>
>>714584531
why wouldn't the distribution property be used here?
>>
How stupid can people be? This is so fucking simple.
FIRST you do the parantheses (or brackets, same thing) one by one, whereever they appear.
SECOND you do the exponents one by one, whereever they appear.
THIRD you do the multiplications and the divisions, which have exactly the same worth, one by one in the order they appear, from left to right.
FOURTH you do the additions and divisions, which have exactly the same worth, also one by one in the order they appear, from left to right.
FIFTH you get a correct result.

>>
>>714597751
This.

The correct answer is the one you get no matter how it's written

>>714584531
When you can resolve it without variables, then doing so inverts some of operator precedence/order of ops.
>>
It's 9

The rules of operations are multiplication and division not multiplication over division. When you have a string of mutlicationa dm division you treat them the same and go left from right. I know some of your teachers were stupid so they didn't teach u this but here u are.
>>
>>714587337

All of you fucking niggers are just treating the parenthesis as a multiplication sign. While it is involved in the distributive property, you still have to distribute first. Just because it leads to multiplication doesn't mean it is multiplication. Answer's 1 fuckers.

division and multiplication have equal precedence in PEMDAS so you go left to right.
