Hi guys,
On another forum of which I am a member, we are having a discussion about the above equation.
Some people read the equation as:
(6÷2)(1+2) in which case the answer is 9.
Some read the equation as:
6÷(2(1+2)) in which case the answer is 1.
Google and Microsoft (and other computer) calculators show the answer as 9 whereas good scientific calculators show the answer as 1.
Anyway i thought what better place to ask than here.
So go ahead guys, is the answer 1 or 9 and why?
