Question and Solution (Level 70)
The question asks for the result of the tricky equation: 6/2(1+2)?
This is a classic order of operations puzzle (PEMDAS/BODMAS) designed to confuse people about operator precedence.
Solution Steps:
1. Parentheses (P) first: Solve the expression inside the parentheses: (1+2) = 3. The equation becomes 6 / 2(3).
2. Multiplication and Division (MD) next: These operations are performed simultaneously from left to right. Although 2(3) is written as implied multiplication, it does not take precedence over division when reading left to right.
3. Left to Right: 6 / 2 = 3.
4. Final Step: 3 * 3 = 9.
The correct answer is 9.

PRO TIP
Remember that division and multiplication have equal priority, so you must solve them strictly from left to right!
