>>732013376
math is not broken, your phone calculate is programmed shitty
>>
>>732013515
except you entered a different equation.
>>
>>732013376
The answer is 1. Calculator is right. Your phone is wrong. Also, learn to count stupid
>>
>>732013550
this. casio is correct.

not him but you're wrong, it's exactly the same

>>732013948
also: code reading always starts from right to left.

you fucks never cease to amaze me with how retarded you
answer is 9 btw

It's not. He did something to it to make it seem like it was right. Math is not my best subject in the slightest, but I know that it's wrong

Order of operations. Answer is one, not nine.
>>
>>732013376

6/2(2+1)
6/2*3
3*3
9

only answer is 9 unless you write 6/(2(2+1)) then the answer is 1

Not going to answer to b8 faggots with their "multiplication before division" as it's obviously not true in this case.
>>
>>732013954
OP's equation is 6/2(2+1)
That guy put in 6(2+1)/2
>>
>>732014038
Do you know the order of operations you idiot?
>>
>>732014166
Dubs of truth.
>>
>>732014152
this guy did already
>>732014175
>>
>>732014217
yes, I bet you're about to tell me how multiplication comes before division
>>
>>732014166

Talking about order of operations, a multiplication doesn't have the priority over a division

>>732014208


in both case the answer is 9 and you know it
>>
If you use the BIMDAS model then you do the brackets first:
(2+1) = 3.
Multiplication is the next part you hit, so:
2x3 = 6.
Division is next, so:
6/6 = 1.

Anon will of course educate me about retardation.
>>
>>732013954

No, it isn't. That's the whole point of the troll. Using the obelus (÷) is ambiguous whereas using a / is explicit. So, by changing it you have already resolved the original ambiguity which is what split the two calculators.

Also why the fuck do contemporary calculators even let you use an obelus? No one doing serious math ever does this.
>>
>>732013376
maybe if you had your calculator on the right DEG mode you could actually get the correct result as with your phone.
>>
>>732014327
you fucking idiot, multiplication and division are at the same level, you just go left to right if you have only those two operations
>>
>>732014357

I know the difference between both signs, but on a casio it's the only way to do a division, probably the same on his phone
>>
Op your phone is correct
If I remember correctly back in school
This is why you had to break it down step by step
>>
>>732014175

Exactly. The problem is, the OP used an obelus so you don't know which of these two is intended. So changing it is _not_ exactly the same.

It's like Protestants translating a Greek word to Elder instead of Biahop in English because they can't admit church history is liturgical and hierarchical. Sure, elder is correct and valid but it is an interpretation not pure translation.

"About PEMDAS : These mnemonics may be misleading when written this way, especially if the user is not aware that multiplication and division are of equal precedence, as are addition and subtraction"

educate yourself retard

>>732014506

They don't even know that divisions and multiplications, just like additions and substractions are on the same level, it won't change much.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

OP's formula was "six divided by two", not "six halves".
Wolfram result using the correct formula:

>>732013376
It's only 1 if you use a 100 year old outdated understanding of the order of operations
>>
>>732014903

Six halves and six divided by two is the same anon
>>
>>732014935
Only when calculated by themselves, not as part of an operation.
>>
>>732014956

But that's the only way to divide on a casion though, there's no other division sign
>>
>>732015020
on the casio theres a button that gives u a symbol that looks something like _| but the vertical line is shorter. you can use that to represent fractions like 6_|2

Think about it

I think you mean om the phone? 'cuz the casio clearly has a division symbol.

>people use the ÷ sign even though they don't know what it means
>most people in this thread still think you should do a multiplication before a division

thanks to point out that people are indeed retarded
>>
Am I right to assume that the error comes from the conversion of the binary storing system, e.g. binary digits less than 1 are stored with fractions and are therefore introduce stupid errors

>>732015374

The phone seems to make no difference between ÷ and / so it's not a problem
>>
>>732015445

No the error comes from the way the division is expressed, nothing to do about the way numerical values are stored
>>
>>732015433
more like schooling is retarded, i was taught to do multiplication first.

>>732015445
that would only effect it by some tiny decimal place you fucked up newfag
>>
>>732015646

More like the anglo education is retarded, there's no such thing as PEMDAS outside anglo nations, they just explain to us how it works

PEMDAS makes you think multiplications should be done first, just like additions over substractions

American logic.

Everybody knows this is a troll thread right?
Order of operations change between Europe - BOMDAS and AMERICA - PEMDAS

>>732015858
*PEDMAS
>>
>>732015858
are you retarded? are you saying that multiplication does come before division?
>>
>>732015858

Never heard of "BOMDAS" in Yurop

That's also a retarded anglo thing


Good god that's why most american scientists are foreigners or jews
>>
>>732015950
In Europe yes, what do I have to do to get that into your thick American skull? It's pretty basic.

pretty sure you're just retarded and can't understand basic math
t. physics and electrical engineering major

>>732013376
6÷2(2+1)
=6/(2(3))
=6/(2x3)
=6/6

Which is equal to 1 so your phone is wrong

I'm a chartered mechanical engineer I'm sure if you are actually what you say you are you should be able to understand eventually.
>>
>>732016509
being an shit-tier engineer doesn't change the fact that you're wrong
>>
6/2*(2+1)=9
6/(2*(2+1))=1
Its that simple
>>
>>732016624
Wrong about what?
Please point out.
The problem is ambiguously phrased.
This is what I'm trying to help you understand, we have different orders of operations and OP is a troll.
Is this really so hard to comprehend?

I mean we have metric, you imperial for God's sake.
