I just googled wtf is PEMDAS, US y'all weird :mjlol:

in Kenya we use BODMAS as you can see, we do division before the multiplication.

Using BODMAS. Answer is 1.

With y'all PEMDAS answer is 9.

:heh:

Yo for real I came back in this thread and I'm like what the fukk is pemdas

Canadians raised on that BEDMAS which is how I guessed 9

BEDMAS - Math Central

In order to solve a question with multiple operations (add/subtract, multiply/divide) there is an order to follow often referred to as 'BEDMAS'
BEDMAS is an acronym that stands for;

B-brackets
E-exponents
DM-multiply or divide (left to right)
AS-add subtract (left to right)

6 / 2 (1+2) = 6 / 2 × 3 = 6 / 6 = 1

So, answer is 1

  • Brackets (parts of a calculation inside brackets always come first).
(1+2) = 3
  • Orders (numbers involving powers or square roots).
  • Division.
6÷2 =3
  • Multiplication.
3 × 3 = 9
  • Addition.
  • Subtraction.
Same rules apply. Math is a universal language. Its the same no matter what part of the world you are. BODMAS, PEMDAS, BEDMAS = same shyt.

6 / 2 ( 1 + 2 )
1 + 2 = 3
Which leaves you with 6 / 2 x 3
6 / 2 = 3
And finally 3 x 3 = 9

Not really.
a(b) or (a)(b) = implicit multiplication or implied multiplication. Implicit multiplication is equivalent to ‘of' in bodmas

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

The question is ambiguous. 1 or 9 is correct.

Theres nothing ambiguous about it if you know, understand and execute the rules. The answer isnt 1 or 9. It IS 9.

After the parenthesis/brackets. When all your operations are at the same levels(in this example multiplication and division), you work left to right. That is true for BODMAS, PEMDAS and BEDMAS.

IN Canada we do BEDMAS. So if they question was to be asked in our classrooms the right answer would be 1 :yeshrug:

So what's the right answer:lupe:

I think it's 9, but a lot of people on page one said it's 1. I'm not confident enough in my math skills to argue with any one.

But the bigger point of this thread is that shyt like this is not even important to know. I'm unsure of the answer and Im a financial analyst :mjlol:
