6/2(1+2)

Le me derping on vote page then suddenly



I thought only few people are stupid but google.. never !

 

The google example has a * in it which is multiply

3 x 3 = 9.

I don't see the stupid unless i am an idiot myself.

 

You can still figure it out even without the * since / = division and ()=multiplication but your correct the answer is 9.

 

It has to do with using the parenthesis or not, not the multiply symbol ><

And anyway google used parenthesis for 6/2 while the version of 9gag didn't, right

 

but even then you still get the same answer. 6/2(1+2) = 6/2(3) = 3(3) = 9

but i think the point to this thread is that Google is smart and can't be fooled ! >:O

 

Pemdas has multiplication before division so isnt it 2*3 which is 6 then 6/6 = 1?

 

That is true I've totally forgot about Pemdas since i havent used it in ages so your probably right if 9GaG was using Pemdas method. But if i remember correctly isn't pemdas's #1 rule Parentheses 1st?

 

The correct answer is 9.
First you need to do what is between parentheses. which makes u go for 6/2*3
After u do division or multiplication, which comes first. so we end up with 3*3
Finish multiplying. 3*3 = 9

 

<sarcasm>
Everybody is wrong !
6:2(1+2) = 6:2+4 = 3+4 = 7
4 = 2*1 + 2*2

Answer is 7
</sarcasm>

 

rather it is the answer '' '' (^-^)

 

Rawr! Liez i tell you Liez! gotta admit though you had me there for a bit i was like *what no way* then i had to re-chk my math and was so confused till i saw a faint blue sparkle and was like *facepalm*

 

Order of operation.

Without parentheses, this is correct.

 

What?
6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
6/2*3
6/6
1

 

Yes, that's what I just said

 

Parentheses first -> (1+2) = 3
-> 6/2*3

2 scenarios:
a. (6/2)*3 = 9
b. 6/(2*3) = 1

CONCLUSION: calculation order ambiguity. The one who came up with the question is a feggit.

 

I said 7.
