Hes right, its 9.
BEDMAS bro. Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Substraction
Brains, some people call it BEMDAS or BEDMAS. Multiplication and division are interchangeable in order of operations. As is addition and subtraction.
yea it can be done like this:
6
____________ = 1
2(2+1)
or
6 (2+1)= 3
___
2
can be both ways when written out on a computer, but on paper you would have to decide one or the other.
It's 9.
2 + 1 = 3
6/2 = 3
3(3) = 9
No real reason for a debate.
The order is simple :3
EDIT: For simplicity: 6/2 comes before 2(3) because division and multiplication share a slot of time. Whichever goes first goes first. And that the question can be re-written as 6/2 x (2+1).
Your friend visits 4chan. Confirmed.My friend discovered an internet debate, does this equal 1 or 9? explain.
