Every few months the internet goes wild with these kinds of math problems but mufukkas won't take 5 minutes to learn the value of compound interest.

PEMDAS nikkas

6/2(1+2). We do the Parentheses first.

Simplifies to 6/2(3)

Then Multiplication.

Simplifies to 6/6.

Then Division.

Simplifies to 1.

Its 1.

somebody else made this mistake too

you can't cross over like you tried to do with 6/2. that's one whole expression, you can't use 2 seperately from 6 unless you manipulate it someway.


so the () takes ultimate precedence so you solve whatever is within them (2+1)=(3). from there you go left to right and solve multiplication/division
division first 6/2
multiplication second 3(3)=9

 

[Pineal Gland]

6 divided by 2 times 3= 9

 

[Karb]

14 X 14? What you mean? 14!

 

[Rawtid]

Nine.

Atrocious replies in this thread

shyt comes out to 1

When you get to the point where you can either divide or multiply the equation, you ALWAYS multiply it first! that's where PEMDAS comes into play. Yes multiplication and division hold the same weight in equations like this, but that's why PEDMAS tell you to MULTIPLY before you DIVIDE when you're in that situation.

All this cac math

The only addition or subtraction I need to know is my account balance

That's the way people did it. Some just did multiplication first, which is wrong according to my understanding of the order of operations because you should move left to right.

 

[jerniebert]

Multiplication and division are done in the order they show up. It's not multiplication first then division.

That's not how I was taught. When it comes to Multiply and Divide, you do whatever is left most first. Same with addition and subtraction. I've never heard a rule where you multiple first just because it's first.

 

[ShadowBroker]

I think a lot of people remember PEMDAS but often forget the weight of the order. Once you eliminate parenthesis, then exponents only then does multiplication/division go next on equal footing from left to right. Lastly, addition/ subtraction from left to right.

The answer is 9

PEMDAS isn't the problem, it's the understanding of what to do when you're faced with both multiplication and division and/or addition and subtraction in a problem. I was taught you move left to right, others claim they were taught to do multiplication first.
