This viral math problem 6 ÷ 2(1+2) has everyone debating! Is the answer 1 or 9? Find out the correct solution with a quick explanation you won't want to miss!
While I agree with your solution and a majority of the solve. I think it would be remiss if you didnt include the reason that you did the division before the multiplication. Its not because the D comes before the M but that in order from left to right it came first. If there was a multiplication on the left of the equation is would be completed prior to the division. Same holds true for the addition and subtraction.
