The problem is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6 \u00f7 2(1+2) = ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people rush to answer quickly \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly where the mistake happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1: Solve the parentheses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the order of operations, we always start with what\u2019s inside the parentheses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 + 2 = 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now the equation becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6 \u00f7 2 \u00d7 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2: Follow the correct order of operations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot of people think multiplication comes before division. This means we solve them from left to right<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3: Solve from left to right<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6 \u00f7 2 = 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 \u00d7 3 = 9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Final Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The correct answer is: 9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Why do people get it wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people mistakenly multiply 2(3)<\/strong> first and treat it like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6 \u00f7 6 = 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n But this is incorrect because once the parentheses are solved, the expression becomes a normal sequence of division and multiplication, which must be solved from left to right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This problem is a great reminder that even simple math can be tricky if you don\u2019t follow the correct order of operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you get 9<\/strong> or something else?

But in reality, division and multiplication have the same priority<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
